AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Acrylic on canvas.

Master Aldo Gentilini.

In good condition.

Signed on the front at the lower part, while on the back is the authentication made directly by the artist.

Canvas dimensions: 50 x 60 cm.

A detail as with all his works, this piece by Master Aldo Gentilini is part of a private collection.
It is surely an interesting work for someone with space to furnish and enliven with taste, in Abstract style; it comes with its original frame, which is in good condition, and the glass.

The images shown are an integral part of the description.

It will be packed with great care and shipped by express courier with tracking.

Aldo Gentilini was born in Genoa in 1911. From a young age he felt a strong religious vocation that led him to enter the cloistered monastery of Pietrasanta, where he stayed for three years, pursuing philosophical studies, before dedicating himself as a self-taught artist, which would lead him to exhibit in numerous shows in Italy and abroad.
A man of faith, he believes that only through art can the divine be reached. And this belief will underlie all his work:
"I try to make emptiness — Gentilini stated — This emptiness provokes a certain catharsis in me: I observe sensitive values that I respect, I re-evaluate them, but I never know how I will fall into the painting, and this is the realization of a truth toward the sign never thought."
He was an artist practicing asceticism, to imitate the Saint to whom he was devoted. The two natures, that of the human and that of the aesthetic, coincide perfectly.
