Arturo Martini
Piazza d'Armi, Rome - Original Woodcut Print - 1913

1913

About the Item

Piazza d'Armi is a very rare xylograph realized by Arturo Martini, one of the 20th-century masters in this technique. Title and signature printed on the lower margin. Passepartout included : 45 x 55 cm Image Dimensions : 22.5 x 29 cm Arturo Martini (1889-1947) was an Italian sculptor. He studied ceramics in Faenza and sculpture in Treviso. His copious artistic production is characterized by immediate plasticity, halcyon inventiveness, and thorough mastery of all technical processes: stone, bronze, terracotta, ceramics, etc. Whilst the artist preferred a primitive style in his earliest works, he then sought a simplification of volumes. With an admirable sense of style, he managed to be inspired by the most diverse historic, archaic, Etruscan, Romanesque, and Baroque forms without losing originality of inventiveness, nor vitality of form. In his latest works, he abandoned sculpture in order to dedicate himself to painting. He was also an excellent illustrator and ceramist and created works of narrative spirit and decorative value. This artwork is shipped from Italy. Under existing legislation, any artwork in Italy created over 70 years ago by an artist who has died requires a licence for export regardless of the work’s market price. The shipping may require additional handling days to require the licence according to the final destination of the artwork.
