ADOLPHE ANTOINE PERROT (French, 1818-1887) CAMPO SANTO AT PISA, ITALY. Outstanding large historical oil on canvas scene of the monumental cemetery at the northern edge of the Cathedral Square in Pisa, Italy. The interior view shows a long hallway with arched cathedral windows on the inside wall and a tall wall of colorful frescos on the interior wall. Below the frescos are sarcophagi along with a collection of Roman and Etruscan sculptures and urns. During WWII a bomb fragment started a fire burning much of the wooden trusses and damaging almost everything inside the cemetery. A long arduous task of recreating the damaged pieces is underway. Signed lower right “Perrot 1881″. An impressive detailed rendering of one of Italy’s great treasures. Housed in an antique gesso decorated frame having an El Artes Habana Cuba framing label. SIZE: 37″ x 53”. PROVENANCE: From a Rangeley, Maine private collection. CONDITION: Light craquelure, discolored varnish, can use a cleaning. Very good. 9-23847 (5,000-10,000)
