    Finally made it! I couldn't take a photo of the back because the painting is very big and hangs on a wall.. Any idea about the artist, period or anything? Thanks!

    Can’t help, but can say it is a nice, well painted piece :woot:
    European church, it seems.
    Where are you/from where did you get it? This may narrow the search field;)

    This painting was from my grandmother who was a nurse in WW2 in Italy- Friuli, she said that she got it as a gift, after the war. But she doesn't know about the origin of the painting. It is a mystery where it is from or who painted it.

    Anything on the back? Labels? Stickers? Hand written notations?

    Hi @Debora, here is a photo of the back. Nothing written, but it seems that there was a sticker once on the top left corner. IMG_20190806_093134_compress34.jpg IMG_20190806_093054_compress74.jpg

    The combination of the Gothic style of the church, the shape of the church tower, and the style of the houses makes me think France. Northern half rather than southern half.
    Art travels, and this one could easily have made its way to Friuli with a former owner or through trade.

    Thank you ...@any jewlery. I also think of France when I look at the church... Can you guess when it was painted?
    Thanks for the help!

    The female figure on the river bank appears to be wearing regional dress. A close-up photograph would be helpful.

    Well spotted. Right now I think I see a red skirt, black bodice, white hat or bonnet. Which was worn in many, if not most, parts of Europe.:( Let's hope there is more detail, especially in the headdress.

    Looks as if it was owned by a heavy smoker or the artist's palette was limited to shades of yellow.

    A good clean would help it.
