Walter Valentini (1928) - Cielo

Small aquatint etching and intaglio by Walter Valentini in perfect condition, exemplar IV / V

Walter Valentini (Pergola, October 22, 1928 – Milan, May 20, 2022) was an Italian painter, sculptor, and printmaker, internationally recognized in the field of graphic arts and engraving.

Like the plates, the graphic works are not smooth surfaces: with a refined dry intaglio technique, Valentini presses the paper so that the drawing remains embossed relative to the plane. The subjects of these engravings are the same as those of the plates; only the technique varies: from aquatint to etching to drypoint.
