About the Item

The Garden Of Semiramis, oil on board, signed and dated, title in Latin on revers. Gian Paolo Dulbecco was born in La Spezia (Italy) in 1941, he begins as a self-taught painter at the end of the 50s, devoting himself also to the engraving techniques, especially to the drypoint. In 1966 he graduates from the Polytechnic University of Milan and settles in Rome in the last years of the 60s. In 1971 he comes back to Milan, taking part in many important art exhibitions. In 1982-83 he creates a set of paintings on the Via Crucis theme, now placed in the S. Gemma Church in Monza; at the same time, he presents some paintings in various sacred-art exhibitions. In 1984 he wins a prize from the Cartier's Collection in Milan. In 1992 he is among the winners in a national competition organized by the Italian Revue Arte. A period of various exhibitions in Europe and Japan follows. In July 2002 the Italian Ministry for Heritage and Cultural Affairs supports a significant anthological exhibition in Ravello, with his paintings from 1990 to 2002. He developed his language modulated on arrangements of color and light in a search for formal value, often expressed on canvasses of small dimensions. Combined with the pursuit of creative refinement, his painting is characterized by a marked state of disorientation as a metaphor for the universal interrogative. The result is a universe of magic realism, organized without purpose, in a suspended atmosphere and frozen in time.

Gian Paolo Dulbecco

Gian Paolo Dulbecco was born in La Spezia, Italy in 1941 and began painting by the end of the 1950s. He also devoted himself to the engraving techniques, especially to the drypoint. In 1966, he graduated from the Polytechnic University in Milan. His first exhibitions began in the last years of the 1960s when he moved to Rome. In 1971, Dulbecco returned to Milan, taking part in many important art exhibitions. In 1982–83, he created a set of paintings on the Via Crucis theme, now placed in the S. Gemma Church in Monza; at the same time, he presented some paintings in various sacred-art exhibitions. In 1984, he won a prize from the Cartier's Collection in Milan. In 1992, he was among the winners in a national competition organized by the Italian revue "Arte." In 1992–93, Dulbecco revisited the Tarots theme, that he had already developed in the previous years: a special set of these 22 paintings, devoted to the tobacco's subject and history, is included by the French art critic Pierre Restany in the show Art et Tabac, which is presented in various European countries. A period of various exhibitions in Europe and Japan followed. In July 2002, the Italian Ministry for Heritage and Cultural Affairs supported a significant anthological exhibition in Ravello, with his paintings from 1990–2002. Dulbecco developed his language modulated on arrangements of color and light in a search for formal value, often expressed on canvases of small dimensions. Combined with the pursuit of creative refinement, his painting is characterized by a marked state of disorientation as a metaphor for the universal interrogative. The result is a universe of magic realism, organized without purpose, in a suspended atmosphere and frozen in time. Several of his works are a part of the Italian and European public collections, including the Collection of Fantastic Art at the Gruyères Castle, Switzerland; the Paul VI Museum of Sacred Art, Concesio, Brescia, Italy; the Panorama Museum, Germany; the Collection of Art of the City of Ravello, Salerno, Italy; the Museo dei Tarocchi (Museum of Tarot) of Riola, Bologna, Italy; and the Art Collection of the Province of Palermo, Italy.
