One of the paintings from my parents' collection was done in palette knife and was signed "Camprio." Tonight I replaced the image on my Welcome form with a digital reproduction of a small portion of this work.
I thought I'd do a little digging for information on Camprio on the web and found a number of conflicting posts on one particular board. Although the artist's name and birth details are inconsistent, all who posted noted the artist's mastery of the palette knife and penchant for Mediterranean Sea scenes. Holland was also mentioned with some frequency. It is said that Camprio "developed a unique syle of depicting Dutch landscapes on canvas with a palette knife technique that is considered by many important art critics to be exceptional in detail, color, and artistic conformation. This is a difficult form of art and Camprio has mastered all of its intricacies."
