Large Howard Behrens “Villa Cipriani Archway” Framed Italian Garden Print

A richly colored Mediterranean garden scene by American artist Howard Behrens, known for his luminous, impressionistic views of European villas, coastlines, and flower-filled landscapes.

Titled “Villa Cipriani Archway,” the image leads the eye through a massive stone arch into a sunlit Italian villa garden. A winding brick path, climbing flowers, shaded doorways, and distant architecture create a warm sense of escape—as though the viewer has discovered a hidden courtyard tucked away in the Italian countryside.

The print is professionally presented beneath glass with wide cream matting, narrow burgundy and green accent lines, and a substantial pale blush or pickled-wood frame. Its large scale and layered framing make it a ready-to-hang statement piece for a living room, dining room, bedroom, office, boutique, or Tuscan-inspired interior.

The artist’s printed signature appears in the lower-left corner. This is a decorative reproduction print, not an original painting or hand-signed limited edition. The image is documented as a Howard Behrens work, with commonly listed print dimensions of approximately 24 by 32½ inches.

Condition

Good preowned decorative condition overall:

• Print and glass appear intact

• Pale wood frame has light scratches, small marks, and finish wear
• Minor dust or age-related marks may be present beneath or on the glass

The front presentation remains attractive, although the backing wear should be disclosed.
