About Felice Carena
Born
1879
Died
1966
Nationality
Italian
Felice Carena (1879–1966) was an Italian painter, draftsman, and watercolorist born in Cumiana, Piedmont, and later associated with Venice, where he died. Getty's ULAN records him as a student of the painter Giacomo Grosso. Authority files consistently identify painting, drawing, and watercolor as parts of Carena's practice, although the collected sources do not securely assign him to a particular movement or school. Collectors encounter his name chiefly in connection with paintings and works on paper, while auction databases may also group some records under prints or broader fine-art categories. Because these records can differ in medium, date, condition, provenance, and attribution wording, the artist's name alone is not sufficient to identify or value an object. A careful assessment should connect the work's materials, dimensions, inscriptions, physical condition, and documented history to reliable Carena references and closely comparable public sales.

Common works and media
Authority records support paintings, drawings, and watercolors as Carena's principal documented work types. Auction records may also be grouped under works on paper and prints. Before selecting comparable lots, record the object's medium, support, dimensions, signature and inscriptions, date, condition, provenance, and any applicable edition details. A broad auction category alone does not establish authorship or authenticity.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisily's public artist index contains matched auction activity for Carena under fine art and paintings and works on paper and prints. These category labels do not establish that every listed object is autograph or correctly attributed. For appraisal, compare like with like: medium, dimensions, date or career period, condition and restoration, signature or inscriptions, edition information where relevant, provenance, exhibition or catalogue references, subject, and attribution confidence all affect comparability. Recent realized results for genuinely similar works are more useful than an artist-wide median. Public auction feeds may omit private transactions, use differing fee conventions, or receive later attribution updates, so any estimate should disclose its data limits and be reconciled with direct examination and current comparable sales.
