VERSILIA ITALY BY NELSON H. WHITE

Versilia Italy, by American artist Nelson Holbrook White, was painted using oil on linen in April 2020, and measures 18 by 20 inches. The piece is custom framed and signed by the artist.

Known for his highly evocative scenes of beaches from around the world, Nelson H. White (b. 1932) is a third-generation Connecticut Impressionist. White studied first under the tutelage of his father and grandfather and in 1955 he moved to Florence, Italy, to become an apprentice to Pietro Annigoni, the world-renowned Florentine master. This background has given White's work a distinctive feel as he paints in the style of American Impressionism while also being classically trained.

Nelson H. White's great love of nature and the outdoors can be seen in his work which hangs in many public and private collections worldwide, including permanent collections of the Wadsworth Athenaeum, the Florence Griswold Museum, and the New Britain Museum of American Art. The art world has taken notice of White's work and at Sotheby's American Art auction on March 5, 2020, two of his Ogunquit Maine beach landscapes from 2003 sold for three and four times their current retail value.
