AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Olmedo Mezzoli (1908–1982) – “Young Archaeologist” – Surrealist composition
Painting on panel depicting a suggestive surrealist composition: a young female face merges with a large decorated archaeological jar, suspended in a fantastic and cosmic landscape.
The work features some of the most characteristic elements of Olmedo Mezzoli's fantastical and surrealist output: the reference to classical antiquity and archaeology is combined with a dreamlike dimension, creating a figure suspended between reality and imagination.
Mezzoli was active in Milan and in 1969 he participated, together with Luigi Regianini, in the founding of the figurative surrealist Movement STIGE.
The work is signed “Mezzoli” at the bottom right.
On the back there is the artist’s label “OLMEDO MEZZOLI – Painter” with a Milan address, on which the handwritten title “Young Archaeologist” is listed. This is a particularly interesting documentary element for identifying the work.
Technique: painting on panel
Dimensions of painting: 40 × 30 cm
Overall dimensions with frame: 61 × 51 cm
Title: Young Archaeologist
Signature: signed at bottom right
Frame: present, as in the photographs.
The work is sold with its own frame. The photographs form an integral part of the description and show the state of conservation of the work and the frame.
Professional and meticulous shipping.
