30" X 40" Oil Painting On Canvas Appeal of Italy is a remarkable oil painting reminiscent of a beautiful panoramic view of Italy's famous Po River. It was created with a special technique using a palette knife . A palette knife is a blunt knife with a very flexible steel blade. Artists traditionally used them for mixing paints together to create new colors. This led to the discovery of the texture that palette knives create while applying oil to canvas. The technique can be traced back to the late 17th century and remains popular to this day! 100% handmade oil painting on artist grade canvas Remarkable selection of museum-quality frames to complement this painting - See this painting framed >> Framed paintings arrive ready to hang on your wall 45-day Satisfaction Guaranteed
