Vincenzo Martini (1955) - Al tramonto / At sunset

“Al tramonto / At Sunset” (1992) by Vincenzo Martini is executed in oil and acrylic on wood (24 × 18 cm; 50 × 44 cm including the opulent black and gold wooden frame, which is considered a gift).

Compared to Martini’s larger-format works, this piece is notably smaller, making it especially versatile and well-suited for decorative use in a variety of interior settings.

The painting depicts a medieval Umbrian street scene at sunset, glowing in warm golden tones. Stone houses, arched wooden doors, and slender autumn trees frame two small figures, creating a calm and timeless atmosphere. It is signed and dated on the front and additionally signed on the reverse.

There are minor, age-related paint losses in the lower right and upper left corners, consistent with its age and overall well-preserved condition.

Vincenzo Martini (born 1955 in Foligno, active in Spello) is a representative of the Umbrian school, blending Giotto-inspired figuration with poetic, fairy-tale-like urban scenes.
