[QUOTE="Pat P, post: 65964, member: 201"]Bev, as Kard said, the paintings on the left and right below are known, authenticated, Gatta works. From what I can see, the treatment of different elements, including the structure on the left, differs in these paintings. The photos (and reproductions of the photos) may be distorting what's in the actual paintings, or Gatta may have taken different approaches each time. I can think of a number of reasons for his technique and depiction to have varied... perhaps he had more time to do some paintings than others, one or more work was done on commission and his patron had requests, he simply didn't want the paintings to look similar, and/or he wasn't satisfied with what he'd done previously and decided to do things differently.
