About the Item

Rare large (2-sheet format) Italian stone lithograph original fashion poster by Aleardo Villa, 1890. This is an advertisement for G. Contratti and Co. in Milao, Torino, Genova, and Rome. This stunning art nouveau advertisement captures the essence of elegance with its intricate design, showcasing three fancifully dressed women laughing and smiling while admiring an architectural painting. The man in the fancy black tux and top hat adds a touch of sophistication to the overall scene. The intricate details of the artwork are a testament to the skill of the artist, and the overall effect is simply breathtaking. The piece is finished off in a black ornate frame. Appreciated painter, illustrator, and advertiser, Aleardo Villa (1885-1906) studied under the direction of Bertini at the Accademia di Brera. Skilled in portraying faces and female figures, sensual and dressed in fashion, towards the end of his career Villa abandoned painting to devote himself exclusively to advertising graphics: he was an appreciated poster artist at the Ricordi di Milano.
