Hello, this item is a pair of framed original paintings by Montague, titled Porto del Popolo and Campo Vaccino, both signed, dated 1957, and numbered F58-903. The style suggests romanticized neoclassical landscapes, possibly inspired by 18th-century Italian vedute painting. The vertical compositions and soft color palette evoke capriccio traditions where ruins and imagined scenes were combined for decorative effect. The paintings were purchased from Mohr Art Galleries in Toledo, Ohio, a known regional gallery active in mid-20th-century American decorative art distribution.
While Montague is not a listed or academically recognized artist in major art historical databases, these works fit within the midcentury American decor painting category. Their value depends on their quality as hand-painted originals, not prints, and their strong visual appeal. Given their condition, provenance, and framing, the pair would be valued in the range of 400 to 700 USD together.
