H. M. Locatelli ( - Cascata incantatrice

The painting was found in the attic of my deceased grandfather. Attached is the provenance certificate. The painting is an oil on canvas mounted in a contemporary style executed in 1999, made as a faithful and refined art reproduction in a 18th-century style. It is not an antique 18th-century piece, but a modern pictorial work created for antique and high-end interior decoration. Below are the technical data sheet and detailed information derived from the official cartouche: Technical Data Sheet of the Work * Title of the work: "Enchanting Cascade" * Author indicated: M. H. Locatelli (or signed N. "M. H. Locatelli") * Year of execution: 1999 * Technique: Oil on canvas with an aged finish (the inscription reads "Oil on old canvas" or "aged", a technique used by art laboratories to confer patina to the canvas and pigments and the typical craquelure and appearance of paintings from past centuries). * Dimensions of the canvas alone: Size 120 x 80 cm (excluding the important frame). * Catalog code: Code 0575/C/99 The Workshop and the Publisher: Falconio Interiors The work comes from the prestigious Falconio Art Laboratory - Interiors Art Collection, a historic artistic reality based in Naples. * The back of the document bears the stamp of the "Mark of Qualification" and the original signature of the art publisher G. Falconio. * This type of Neapolitan art laboratories is famous for its very high craftsmanship. Copyist masters and workshop painters create new paintings inspired by great themes of the past (in this case the Arcadian landscapes of the 18th century), using old frames or specially treated canvases to integrate perfectly into settings furnished with antique or designer furniture. The author, M. H. Locatelli, is the master painter/copyist who actually executed the painting for the Falconio collection in 1999, demonstrating notable technical skill in recreating the golden atmospheres, the transparency of the water, and the vegetation typical of 18th-century vedutismo.
