Original Watercolor by Conrad HR Carelli The River Inn at Innsbruk, Austria Original Watercolor by Conrad HR Carelli The River Inn at Innsbruk, Austria Click images to enlarge Description: Original Watercolor by Conrad HR Carelli The River Inn, Innsbruk, Austria Offered here is an original watercolor by noted Italian artist Conrad Hector Raphael Carelli. It is a view of the River Inn in Innsbruk with the Alps in the background. This is a relatively large watercolor for Carelli at just slightly under 14" by 10" sight size. It is double matted and framed to 22.5" by 17.5". As usual we removed all non-conservation materials. The work is now double matted with alpha-cellulose mat board, which, along with the painting, is linen hinged to the foam core backing. It is protected under acrylic. You will note in the biography that Carelli studied at the Académie Julian in 1889, under William Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury. Obviously, the family had enough wealth by then to afford the best. Carelli's paintings, many smaller than this one, have brought auction prices to $5000.00 and higher. Returns are accepted only in case of misrepresentation but our guarantee of authenticity is without time limit. Conrad H.R. Carelli 1869–1956 Born in London into a well-known family of Neapolitan artists, Conrad Hector Raphael Carelli (1869–1956) was great-grandson of painter Settimio Carelli, follower of the style of Pompeo Battoni, in Apulia, Italy; grandson of Raffaele Carelli (1795–1864), painter of the School of Posillipo; and son of artist Gabriele Carelli (1821–1900) who moved from Italy to London, where he married an Englishwoman and Queen Victoria became one of his principal patrons. Conrad Carelli studied in Paris at the Académie Julian in 1889, under William Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury. The Carelli family wintered in Menton on the French Riviera, and Conrad's father Gabriele died there in 1900. For a while Conrad lived and exhibited at Menton. Gabriele Carelli travelled regularly and extensively across Britain and Europe, and to North Africa and the Middle East. Conrad shared his father's love of travel and worked in a looser version of his father's style, producing gem-like watercolours, capturing the look and feel of local terrain and architecture.
