Hi Linda and Richard,

I spent an hour searching for these shots I took last year at the PMA. They have two Mancinis (as of last year). I never heard of him before these were acquired, but the strength of his paintings have blown me away. The texture and application of paint is just incredible!

These are hand held shots, and I have sharpened them considerably to show the textures.

Richard, we will have to meet up tomorrow at the Mancini exhibit!

Linda, I hope these pictures entice you to come east soon. I believe these two paintings were painted in 1878, so that makes Antonio Mancini a late 19th century artist as well.

Garth

Check out those shoe details!
