## About Michele Cascella

Michele Cascella (1892–1989) was an Italian painter whose long practice also encompassed watercolor, pastel, drawing, printmaking, ceramics, and textiles. Landscape is a documented focus of his work, and an Italian biographical source associates him with a personal form of Post-Impressionist landscape painting, although that movement label is not confirmed here by an institutional biography. Cascella exhibited regularly at the Venice Biennale between 1924 and 1942. Published summaries also identify works in Italian and European museum collections, reflecting the broad circulation of his art. Collectors may encounter his name on oils and watercolors as well as on lithographs, chromolithographs, screenprints, etchings, pastels, and drawings. That range matters for identification: a unique painting or work on paper should not be evaluated as though it were an editioned graphic work. His varied production and long career help explain why Cascella appears frequently in auction and appraisal contexts.

## Common works and media

Works encountered under Michele Cascella's name may include oil paintings, watercolors, pastels, drawings, and landscape compositions, together with a substantial range of graphic work. Documented print techniques include lithography, chromolithography, screenprinting, and etching. Ceramics and textile work also form part of his broader practice, although the collected sources do not establish how often those categories appear at auction.

## Market and appraisal context

An appraisal of a Michele Cascella work should begin by identifying its medium, technique, support, dimensions, and whether it is unique or graphic. The available sources document oils, watercolors, pastels, drawings, ceramics, textiles, lithographs, chromolithographs, screenprints, and etchings, so works bearing his name do not form a single market category. Landscape subject matter is well documented, but this source pack does not establish that any particular subject, period, or technique carries a market premium. Object-specific research should therefore compare like with like and examine condition, provenance, attribution, date, signature, and any edition information. Because no accessible major-auction-house or lot-level evidence was collected here, price trends and prospective values should not be inferred from this profile alone.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Identity evidence and object-specific market evidence are assessed separately.
