Southern European Works of Art: A Timeless Attraction
Southern Europe has been at the forefront of the history of art for centuries. The works produced in Italy, France, and Greece have stood the test of time and continue to hold an undeniable leading role in the field of study and the antique market. Nicholas Wells Antiques is proud to present its collection of Southern European works of art, which showcases the continued attraction towards classicism and the pursuit of collecting.
During the early 19th century, works of art from Southern Europe became the main subject matter in art history. For the Grand Tourists, traveling, collecting, and replicating these works of art was a means of acquiring knowledge, status, and power. The popularity of these works of art has persisted over time, and they continue to be highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
