About the Item

Painting Title "Quiet Summer, Rome" Painting size without frame: 8"x10" Painting size with frame: 14"x16" Painting is signed lower right Note: Watercolor is under glass (hence photo of frame) Medium: Watercolor A sun-drenched Roman street scene by Henry Gasser. Painted with Gasser's characteristic warm, weathered palette, the composition captures a shaded market stall beneath a striped awning, its proprietor at work while passersby move through the golden light — an elderly woman leaning from a window above completes the intimate, lived-in atmosphere. Gasser, celebrated for finding beauty in "everyday subjects," brings the same documentary eye he applied to New Jersey streetscapes to this later European travel scene, rendered with confident, economical brushwork and a rich sense of texture and light. Gasser was director of the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Art (1946–54), a Hallgarten Prize winner at the National Academy of Design, and author of several standard watercolor instructional texts. His work is held in the Smithsonian American Art Museum and numerous museum collections.
