The Art thread

Does anyone know anything about Marco Cortinelli?

A couple of small paintings have been found* in the charity shop I volunteer at.

They are small things with ornate little frames.

Thanks


* - The place has been open less than a month, but it was a charity shop before Covid and has been closed for the last 5/6 years.
I found them in the storage area at the back, where things were just left.

I'll get pictures tomorrow, sorry, I was busy doing other things.

Quick internet search says they were a company started in the 70's some oils and some prints, not very valuable but can be quite decorative.

Thanks, I thought they were mass produced, but was unsure

A bit like pottery some were hand painted the others prints as I understand it.

Bloody hell - I read that and thought is that a C.16 renaissance artist I'd never heard of and a couple had turned up in a second hand shop!

A modded Volvo surely at a local garage specialising in either restoring, or at least selling classics...

Good grief, I have zero idea how that came to be in the art thread ... re posting on the Volvo thread, duh
