Though the painting comes with no direct provenance, it is in Masi's distinctive style and appearance.
This very attractive painting depicts a fishing scene with a boat, fishermen, and landscape all created using a beautiful colour palette. It is painted on card.
Roberto Masi was a prominent Italian artist based in Florence, best known for his work in the style of Primitivism.
Masi’s work focused on finding a simpler, more basic way of life, which was reflected in both the form and subject matter of his paintings. His style was deeply rooted in the Italian "primitivist" movement, which drew inspiration from a desire for raw essential expression.
This lovely painting comes framed and glazed.
