Original 2010 Maurizio Pece Watercolor | "Pieve di Campagna" Italian Landscape | Signed with COA & Display Stand

A luminous original watercolor painting titled "Pieve di Campagna" (Country Parish) by noted Italian artist Maurizio Pece (b. 1956). This hand-painted work captures the serene, rustic beauty of the Umbrian and Tuscan countryside. The composition features a classic Italian stone farmhouse nestled among a rhythmic row of cypress trees and rolling vineyard hills. The foreground is defined by a vibrant, impressionistic field of red poppies—a signature element of Pece’s celebrated style.

The painting is executed with fluid, masterful brushwork that captures the "En Plein Air" light of the Mediterranean. The reverse of the piece features a formal Declaration of Authenticity (Dichiarazione di Autenticità) and the artist's personal stamp, dating the work to September 15, 2010.

This offering includes the featured black metal scrollwork display stand, providing the collector the versatility to display this piece immediately on a library shelf, console, or mantel without the need for wall mounting.

About the Artist

Designer’s Note
This painting is 'instant sunshine' for a room. The inclusion of the black scrollwork stand is a significant styling bonus—it allows this piece to function as 'shelf jewelry.' In 2026, we are seeing a major trend in layering art into built-in bookshelves and desk vignettes rather than just hanging it on walls. The deep crimson of the poppies pairs perfectly with warm wood tones, brass accents, or terracotta pottery.

This is a rare opportunity to own a fully documented, original work of Italian contemporary art. "Pieve di Campagna" is a luminous window into the heart of Italy, made even more versatile by its accompanying display stand. A stunning, soulful addition to any collection.
