AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fabio Calvetti (1956) - "Like in a Mirror" 1993.
Fascinating and rare work by the Tuscan master Fabio Calvetti (Certaldo, 1956), prominent exponent of the new Italian Figurazione. The work titled "Like in a Mirror" and dated 1993 represents a central moment in the artist's mature period.
The painting addresses a subject of great expressive intensity and metapictorial charm: a nude woman seen from behind looking at herself in the mirror, accompanied by a painter's palette. The atmosphere is the one typical of Calvetti's works: intimate, silent, suspended and charged with existential magnetism.
Technique: mixed media (oil/tempera and others) on black paper, finely applied on canvas.
Dimensions of the work: 60x58 cm
Dimensions of the canvas: 65x63 cm
Total size (including the black frame): 72x69 cm
Front: titled at the top in italics "Like in a Mirror" in white pencil, signed and dated Fabio Calvetti 1993, also in white pencil.
Back: initialed, titled and dated in black marker on the back of the canvas, Fabio Calvetti 1993/Like in a Mirror.
The work is in excellent condition, and together with the painting a copy of the artist's monographic catalog is provided.
