A striking vintage Italian architectural composition depicting the Chiesa Madre in Partinico, Sicily. The historic church and surrounding piazza are finely detailed and hand-painted in muted shades of brown, blue, and green over a luminous 22-karat gold-leaf surface. Handcrafted in Italy by Duemme, the piece retains its original certificate of guarantee confirming traditional hand workmanship and 22K gold leaf. It is presented beneath glass in a substantial layered gold-and-silver shadow-box-style frame measuring approximately 15 inches wide by 14 inches high and nearly 2 inches deep. Scattered spotting is visible on the mat and backing, consistent with age. Please review all photographs for condition.
