Aldo Augusto Baccinetti (1903-1990) - Autoritratto

Important self-portrait from the mid-20th century by the Florentine master Aldo Augusto Baccinetti. An exceptional and rare oil painting depicting the "Autoritratto" of the Italian master Aldo Augusto Baccinetti (Florence 1903 - Milan 1990). Painted and signed in 1976, this work perfectly embodies the mature style of the artist, a prominent figure of the 20th-century Florentine school, who participated in the prestigious VII Quadriennale di Roma (1955-1956). Artistic analysis and provenance: The painting stands out for its strong expressionist-realist matrix. Baccinetti depicts himself with severe intellectual intensity, wearing thick horn-rimmed glasses and his iconic artist’s cap. The palette is rich and contrasting, dominated by the vibrant red of the cardigan against an earthy and textural background in ochre and gray tones. The work is complete with its original Certificate of Authenticity (COA) signed by the artist on the back, referring to its official cataloging in the historic art publication "L'Élite - Selezione Arte Italiana". Framing and presentation: The painting is framed in its splendid contemporaneous gilt wood frame from the mid-century with an inner fabric mat. The warm gold leaf finishes amplify the light of the work, making it suitable for high-end collections or prestigious interior design projects.
