AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Acrylic on canvas.

Master Aldo Gentilini.

In good condition.

The front is signed at the bottom, while on the back there is the authentic certificate issued directly by the artist.

Canvas dimensions 50 x 40 cm.

A detail as with all of his works and unusual in that it is of compact size, this work by Master Aldo Gentilini is part of a private collection.
It is certainly an interesting piece for someone with a small space to furnish and enliven with taste; in Abstract/figurative style it comes complete with its original frame, which is in good condition, and with 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, then dedicating himself self-taught to artistic research, which would lead him to exhibit in numerous shows in Italy and abroad.
A man of faith, he believed that only through art can the divine be reached. And this idea would underpin all his work: "I try to create emptiness – Gentilini declared – This emptiness provokes in me a certain catharsis: I observe sensitive values, I respect them, I reevaluate them, but I never know how I will fall into the painting, and this is the realization of a truth toward a sign never thought of".
He was an artist who practiced asceticism, to imitate the Saint to whom he was devoted. The two natures, that of humanity and that of aesthetics, coincide perfectly.
