Aldo Augusto Baccinetti (1903-1990) - Tellaro

Capture the serene, timeless essence of the Ligurian Riviera with this enchanting mid-century maritime landscape, a work by Florentine artist Aldo Augusto Baccinetti (1903-1990). The piece transports the viewer directly to the historic hamlet of Tellaro, in Liguria, perched on the cliff and universally recognized as one of Italy’s most beautiful coastal villages. The composition is skilfully anchored to the iconic Church of San Giorgio, kissed by the sun, and its majestic bell tower, rising as silent custodians above the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean. Baccinetti balances the architectural geometries of the village with the fluid, organic rhythms of the sea. The painting evokes a deep, nostalgic warmth, making it a focal point of great charm for collectors of Italian historical landscapes and coastal views. [Technical specifications and style] Realized in 1965, this refined work highlights Baccinetti’s mastery and delicacy in the use of mixed media, employing pastels and colored pencils on heavy textured artist’s paper. The artist uses a vibrant yet delicate color palette, characterized by pastel yellows, terracotta-tinged oranges, and bright cerulean blues, layered over a dense, expressive cross-hatching that gives the entire scene a evocative, atmospheric vibra.
