Claudio Apparuti - Bacco

The painting comes directly from the artist's studio. Sold with frame, certificate of authenticity on the back. Directly from the artist, with no reserve price. Signed on the front and back of the certificate of authenticity.
ATTENTION: The painting is not a giglée or a photograph retouched in oil; it is hand-painted using the oil glaze technique. The surface may show small, more pronounced areas that are not imperfections, but part of the oil-on-glaze technique that aims to better highlight certain parts.
This work depicts Bacchus, the Roman god of wine, with his gaze turned upward, crowned by a garland of green leaves. The light sculpts the volumes, giving intensity to the scene. Obviously it is inspired by Caravaggio's famous Bacchus in the Uffizi, but without his ambiguity.
Claudio Apparuti, painter from Correggio (RE), has attended the Art High School and subsequently earned a degree in Art History at La Sapienza University in Rome. For many years he has been painting and his works have been exhibited in numerous exhibitions in Italy. Several critics have commented on his paintings, including Nadine Giove, Mira Carboni and Vittorio Sgarbi.
The painting will be carefully packaged. Note: for shipments outside the EU area, processing the necessary customs documents can take a long time, up to two months.
