Double-sided Oil Painting – Ettore Bocchini (1899–1970) –landscapes Of The Tuscan-romagna Hills

A rare and captivating double-sided oil painting on panel, signed by Ettore Bocchini (1899–1970), an Italian painter active in the Romagna region. The signature is visible on the lower right of the front side.

The artwork features two distinct landscapes, painted on both sides of the panel. The front depicts a winding road lined with houses and lush hillside vegetation, likely inspired by the Tuscan-Romagnol countryside. The reverse shows a more open scene, with tall trees, rustic buildings, and a diffused light that creates a quiet, contemplative atmosphere.

The brushwork is bold and assured, and the warm, natural palette reveals the artist’s personal and sensitive interpretation of the landscape. A gilded frame enhances the overall elegance of the piece.
