AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Rare etching and aquatint by Walter Valentini depicting an olive tree.
Walter Valentini (Pergola, October 22, 1928 – Milan, May 20, 2022) was an Italian painter, sculptor, and engraver, recognized internationally in the field of graphics and engraving.
In Urbino, he is captivated by art and humanistic culture: he reads the texts of great Renaissance intellectuals such as Baldassare Castiglione and Pietro Bembo, studies the architecture of Francesco di Giorgio Martini and Luciano Laurana, and remains amazed by the Flagellation by Piero della Francesca, a painting preserved at Palazzo Ducale. Here, his desire to deepen his knowledge of perspective and the golden ratio is born.
