Original Italian Oil Painting Ponte Vecchio Florence Arno

A charming mid-century oil painting depicting Florence’s iconic Ponte Vecchio, rendered with warmth and atmospheric softness along the Arno River. Executed on masonite board, the composition captures the architectural rhythm of the bridge and surrounding buildings in earthy ochres, muted greens, and soft sky tones.
