Description from the seller
Renato Volpini (1934-2017) – Glazed ceramic plate/sculpture – 1965
Description of the work
Refined and rare maiolica ceramic plate entirely hand-painted by the renowned Marche-born master Renato Volpini, dated 1965.
The work fuses Italian ceramic tradition with the avant-garde figuration of the 1960s, a period in which the artist moved between the suggestions of Pop Art and Milanese informal experimentation. The plate depicts a stylized profile, topped by an enigmatic geometric/oc ul ar element, a recurring motif that anticipates his famous spatial visions and the "useless machines".
The colors are rich and vibrant: a deep ruby red forms the background to the central cream-colored silhouette, enriched at the base with bluish, ochre, and brownish tones. The surface presents a fascinating craquelé effect of the glassy glaze, typical of the firing and the era, which adds further aesthetic and material value to the object.
On the reverse, the work bears the authentic signature and the autograph dating "renato '65" traced by brush under varnish. The original metal hook for wall mounting is also present.
