Pio Santini
Nude oil painting, large post-impressionist sitting nude by Pio Santini

1940's

About the Item

Large vintage nude portrait oil painting of a woman sitting. This is a gorgeous, colourful and exceptional nude oil painting by Pio Santini, signed in the lower right. A young woman sits for the artist in a bedroom, she grooms her hair, after her bath or shower. The tonal elements of her body are fabulous, layers of creams, peaches and browns carve out a statuesque figure. The use of both brush and knife by the artist adds interest to the eye and texture to the touch. The lilac hues of the chair are echoed in her hair whilst the white robe or towel glistens in impasto thickened texture, lavished by the artist's hand to bring a balanced composition in relation to the white bedding.

He showed his talents early in life and at the age of 16 made a sculpture of the head of Dante Alighieri.
