Louis Bosa Leaning Tower of Pisa Oil on Canvas

Oil on canvas painting by artist Louis Bosa. Depicts a figure parachting down with an umbrella beside the Leaning Tower of Pisa above unnoticing tourists. Features orange, blue, green, red, and brown tones. Framed in a gilded frame with exposed wood detailing.

Bosa's paintings, which are primarily oil on canvas, often focus on people and street scenes from his native Italy. The people in his paintings are accessible and seem to portray human emotion and everyday life, conquering such concepts as mortality, humility and sometimes futility. His work often reveals comedy in the midst of tragedy. Many of his paintings include whimsical images of nuns riding bicycles and similar authority figures engaged in mundane activities. Bosa painted for the Works Progress Administration and the Whitney Museum. He taught at the Cleveland Institute of Art, the New York Art Students League, the Parsons School of Design, Syracuse University, and the University of Notre Dame at South Bend, Indiana. His paintings and watercolors are on display at many well-known art studios and museums across the United States
