Etching on Magnani-Pescia paper 310 gr/m2, paper size 71cm x 50cm, work size 60cmx43,5cm . Francesco Messina was born in Linguaglossa in the province of Catania. He is considered by critics to be one of the greatest figurative sculptors of the Italian twentieth century, together with Giacomo Manzù, Arturo Martini, Marino Marini, Felice Mina. He is the author of some of the major monuments of the Italian twentieth century: Saint Catherine of Siena located on the Lungotevere of Castel Sant'Angelo; the Via Crucis of San Giovanni Rotondo; the Dying Horse of the RAI; the Monument to Pius XII in the Basilica of St. Peter. His works are featured in the most prestigious museums in the world: Bern, Zurich, Gothenburg, Oslo, Munich, Paris, Barcelona, ??Berlin, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Venice, Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Vienna, Washington, Tokyo. In the 1930s he took part in many important collective exhibitions of Italian art in Barcelona, ??Berlin, Bern, Gothenburg, Munich, Oslo, Paris, Sao Paulo, Zurich. In 1938 Giorgio de Chirico in Rome and Salvatore Quasimodo in Turin presented two of his solo exhibitions. In 1942 he won the Sculpture Prize at the XXIII International Art Biennale in Venice, where he held a solo exhibition with fifteen sculptures and seventeen drawings. In 1943 he was appointed Academician of Italy. Until his death in 1995 in Milan, he continued his work as a sculptor and painter and, assisted by his daughter Paola, corrected and completed the numerous biographies dedicated to him and published throughout the world.
