<p>[QUOTE="Jeff Drum, post: 927619, member: 6444"]Thank you. Your wikipedia link was interesting, this sculpture was featured in the 1952 Italian neorealist film Umberto D (a really nice film available for free on Roku if anyone is interested), famous enough for Ingmar Bergman to say "Umberto D. is... a movie I have seen a hundred times, that I may love most of all." So maybe enough of a cultural icon to have inspired the painting (rather than just being a jazzed up tourist painting?)</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you see any name besides "Lansetta" or "Lansetto"? (Couldn't find either at askart.com)</p><p><br /></p><p>Without a name, I guess it has no resale value, and I'm thinking I could instead use it to test my skills at repairing a torn canvas? Does anyone have experience and material list for this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
