Description from the seller
Important mid-20th-century self-portrait by the Florentine master Aldo Augusto Baccinetti. An exceptional and rare oil painting depicting the "Self-Pportrait" by the Italian master Aldo Augusto Baccinetti (Florence 1903 – Milan 1990). Painted and signed in 1976, this work perfectly embodies the mature style of the artist, a prominent figure of the Florentine school of the 20th century, who participated in the prestigious 7th Rome Quadriennale (1955-1956). Artistic analysis and provenance: The painting stands out for its strong expressive-realist core. Baccinetti portrays himself with severe intellectual intensity, wearing thick horn-frame glasses and his iconic artist’s cap. The palette is rich and contrasting, dominated by the vibrant red of the cardigan against a textural background in ochre and gray tones. The work is complete with its original Certificate of Authenticity (COA) hand-signed by the artist on the back, which refers to its official cataloging in the historical art publication "L'Élite - Selezione Arte Italiana". Framing and presentation: The painting is framed in its splendid mid-century gilded wooden frame with an internal fabric mat. The warm gold leaf finishes amplify the light of the piece, making it suitable for high-end collections or prestigious interior design projects. Documentation included: Original Certificate of Authenticity signed by Aldo Augusto Baccinetti (1976) attached on the back. Official artist biography and registration in the Sartori Art Dictionary and L'Élite. Title of the work: Self-Portrait; Year: 1976; Technique: Oil on panel. Certificate of authenticity: Yes, signed by the author on the back. Condition: Excellent
Canvas size: 40 x 34.5 cm. The lot will be carefully packed and shipped with affiliated couriers and online tracking. For this lot, shipments outside the European Community are not performed.
