Real estate firm Perry Ltd
has bought a Giuseppe Calì
painting, the company said.

The portrait, an oil on
canvas, shows an officer of
the 13th Bengal Lancers
while stationed on the
island in 1878.
It was bought in England,
having been in the
possession of an English
family.
 

“The Museum of Fine
Arts and the Palace in
Valletta as well as many
Maltese and Gozitan
churches have a number
of remarkable examples
of Calì’s work.

“The return of this
painting to our shores
enriches our heritage”,
Francis Spiteri Paris, the
firm’s managing director,
said.

The painting will be
exhibited at the offices of
Perry Ltd in Tower Road,
Sliema where it may be
viewed by the public.

It will feature on the front
cover of the forthcoming
issue of Perry’s property
magazine out with The
Sunday Times on July 29.

Perry’s property magazine
is produced by MediaMaker
Ltd, a member of the Allied
Group of Companies.
