Online shopping has become an increasingly important part of our lives.
From food to clothing, from home decorations to gadgets, we can buy anything we want online and our shopping habits are increasingly influenced by the use of digital tools.
Buying art online is also becoming increasingly common and it is important to use a gallery with a proven track record.
Have you ever thought about buying art online? Here are 5 tips to get you started.
Luigi Cima, Autoritratto
Luigi Cima was born in Villa di Villa, now the municipality of Mel (Belluno) on 5 January 1860.
After completing his technical studies in Feltre, he moved to Venice to enrol at the Academy of Fine Arts.
He mainly devoted himself to scenes of working life in the countryside and mountains of the Feltre area, to landscapes animated with figures of acute realism, to scenes of Venetian life and to portraits.

Titian’s women appear sensual and elegant.
In his numerous portraits, they seem to belong to the more affluent strata of society and appear strong and confident.
Was this really the case?
In 16th-century Venice, the image of women took on a role that had never been seen before in the history of painting.
In this post I propose an analysis of the role of women in 16th-century Venice by looking at the most beautiful paintings.
The link between Swatch and art has always been strong.
Swatch has reproduced so many works of art that art has made its way out of museums, onto our wrists, and onto the streets all over the world.
Swatch has been a main partner of the Venice Art Biennale for many years and each time offers a special watch to collect, but it is also committed to supporting artists thanks to its decade-long experience at theSwatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai.
Discovering the new collection of watches inspired by the works of art at the Pompidou is not a surprise but a great confirmation.

The representation of nature in art has always offered artists the opportunity to describe the world and our relationship with the planet we live on.
The history of art is full of works depicting beautiful landscapes, but it is also full of stories in which Nature and its elements are personified by deities, taken from classical culture, that allow us to understand our connection with the world.
I recently visited an exhibition (details at the bottom of this post) that took me on a journey of discovery of nature in art and offered me the chance to understand how nature became so important in the 19th century.
