Landscape paintings are windows to wonderful views

Below is a closeup of the Munoz painting installed above this fireplace. This 18x36" oil on canvas was a perfect fit for this tight space.

Sometimes a beautiful scenic landscape can make you feel like you are on vacation. This is a great example of that.

Wait a minute! That's not a landscape!
Actually, the oil painting above by Luzanquis is a combined still life in the foreground with a landscape in the background. I like to call paintings like these "twofers" or two-for-the-price-of-one paintings.

This is a nifty set of two oil paintings by Pozo. These two leather couches and the paintings face each other in a seating area.

Portfolio

Above: Lush landscape framed to suit both the art and the furniture.

Above: Heavily textured landscape that holds its own with the roughly textured fireplace stone.

Above: Vineyard scene with a great depth of field. The frame works well with the chest's hardware and the ironwork candlestick accessory.

Above: This charming piece by Luzanquis is framed to complement the art, textiles, wall treatments, surrounding woodwork and the furniture.

Above: Large, vertical painting by Diana Mendoza is just the right size for this wall.

Above: Woodland scene by Bacci is flanked by sconces. The frame has a slight verdigris surface to work with the sconces' patina.

Above: Painting of wine bottles, glasses, grapes, and sky by Luzanquis.

Above: Example of a Luzanquis still life with silver service.

Another Masterpiece…

…courtesy of Masterpiece Framing. Wow. The frame has just been completed on this gracious wine painting by Luzanquis. It looks stunning.

Here is a close-up shot of the quadruple stack frame that does such a great job of enhancing the painting:

The piece was framed using only the best, Larson-Juhl frames. Masterpiece Framing is an exclusive dealer of Larson-Juhl frames.

Luzanquis' Wine Paintings

The still life paintings of Luzanquis are highly regarded for their old-world charm and celebration of the joy of wine and wine connoisseurship.

We like to suggest Luzanquis wine paintings for dining rooms, butler pantries, foyers, halls, libraries, kitchens, and wine cellars.

They are a natural choice for restaurants.

 

The timeless elegance of the subject of wine and winemaking make Luzanquis paintings a perennial traditional favorite.

By the way, the aged-looking, cracked texture that Luzanquis achieves on these contemporary pieces is known as "craqueleur."

Portfolio: Private Residence

This is a series of photographs featuring art work that ArtFinders suggested, framed and placed for a private residence. This first painting by Luzanquis was perfect for over the Arts and Crafts buffet in their dining room.

This next painting is a crisp and colorful Mediterranean scene by the artist Hajto. The painting is so inviting and your eye travels up those steps to the cafe or strolls along the waterfront.

These two gems are detailed paintings of charming European village windows by Dvornik. In addition to being beautiful works of art, they look so wonderful in this room. Sometimes the right art work completes a room like the missing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. That was certainly the case with these.

These are another set of two small but majestic autumn landscapes by Munoz. We were pleased that the homeowners chose to stack intriguing sets of two in these tall vertical spaces as seen above and below instead of going with the expected long vertical painting in each spot.
Above the set of two landscapes is another larger landscape by Munoz hung across from the staircase above the second storey entryway. The homeowners will enjoy a lovely continuity of view afforded by having three landscapes by the same artist in the entryway. The atmosphere created by these majestic, warm landscapes is a great way to welcome visitors and set a comfortable mood for the rest of the home.

What a comfortable and beautiful home!

Bartolome Luzanquis

Born in Cajamarca, Peru in 1963, Luzanquis emigrated to Piura, in northern Peru, where he apprenticed with the well-known master, Augusto de los Rios. After three years of very demanding work with De los Rios, he moved to Lima and worked in the atelier of Jorge Arriblasplata, a superb still life painter. He then rounded his education by joining the atelier of Ladislao Plasencki for two more years. Luzanquis has particpated in several exhibitions since 1990 and most of his paintings are collected in England and the United States.
