Bellagio, Lake Como - Original Watercolor by S. Morganti

This is an original watercolor painting on paper depicting a scenic waterfront view of Bellagio, Lake Como, Italy. The artwork features a prominent Grand Hotel building with peach-toned walls and rows of windows, set against a backdrop of a cloudy, atmospheric sky. In the foreground, a dark blue-hulled ferry boat is docked at a pier, with its reflection delicately rendered in the water. The color palette consists of muted blues, greys, and earthy ochre tones, with a small vibrant pop of reddish-pink foliage at the upper right. The piece is signed 'S. Morganti' and inscribed 'Bellagio' in the lower right corner in dark ink. The painting shows skilled use of wet-on-wet techniques in the sky and water, contrasted with precise architectural detailing in the buildings. The work is housed in a contemporary cream-colored textured mat board. The condition appears sound with no visible foxing or fading to the pigments; however, there is a small physical crease or surface mark visible in the lower center of the paper near the edge. The style is late 20th to early 21st-century figurative realism, likely created by a regional artist for the souvenir or local gallery market.
