DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK

We offer at auction a refined work by Salvatore Magazzini, entitled "Marrakech" and executed in oil on panel. The painting depicts one of the artist's most iconic and beloved subjects, famous for his travel notes that capture warm atmospheres and the unmistakable North African architectures.

Through heavily textured brushwork, a skilled use of the palette knife, and strong color contrasts, Magazzini conveys the charm and vibrant light of the Moroccan city, merging formal synthesis and emotion. Our gallery has been dealing in the artist’s work for years, and it has been shown in numerous solo, group, thematic exhibitions and surveys.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES AND CRITICISM ON THE ARTIST

Salvatore Magazzini (Pistoia, 1955) is a renowned Italian painter, internationally known for his unmistakable landscape painting. He began exhibiting very young, in 1969, and soon made “travel” the fulcrum of his artistic and personal investigation. His panels and canvases are true visual diaries through which he fixes the impressions of the places visited: from his beloved Tuscany to the dazzling lights of Morocco, to the metropolitan views of New York, Paris, Los Angeles and Latin America.

Characterized by a post-impressionist language and a strongly expressive use of color, Magazzini boasts a very substantial exhibition CV. He has held over a hundred solo exhibitions in major Italian and foreign galleries (including cycles in France, the United States, Switzerland, Colombia, Japan and Morocco) and a constant presence at the world’s leading contemporary art fairs. His works are today part of prestigious public and private collections worldwide.

The indicated timings on the platform are approximate. We generally ship within the stated terms, sometimes even earlier.

In such cases, we typically keep the purchaser informed of the order status and keep the package ready to be shipped on the first available business day. If it falls on a Friday, we postpone the shipment to Monday to avoid risky storage in warehouses over the weekend.
