A friend of mine inherited this from his father and knows nothing about it. His father brought it with him from Germany and that is all we know! It hangs in his living room and is quite beautiful. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
Pretty shure it's from Venice. Canal Grande with Basilica Di Santa Maria Della Salute in the centre. A popular scenery so can be difficult to nail down the artist. Beautiful work though!
Got lucky! Here you go, A. Divity (Antonio Divity, Italy, 1901-1993). Same signature:
