Still Life With Flowers – Oil On Canvas By Alfredo Cini (1887–1970)

A colorful and well-balanced floral still life painted in oil on canvas, signed in the lower right corner by Italian painter Alfredo Cini (1887–1970).

The artwork depicts a blue ceramic vase filled with vibrant fresh flowers in vivid tones of yellow, red, pink, and blue, arranged with great harmony and dynamism. The brushwork is confident yet soft, characteristic of Cini’s Post-Impressionist style, known for capturing the fleeting beauty of nature through lively and light-filled compositions.

The neutral, slightly blended background enhances the brightness of the flowers, some of which have gently fallen onto the table in the foreground, adding a poetic and intimate atmosphere. The canvas is stretched on its original frame and set within a coeval, finely carved gilded frame, elegant and decorative.

On the reverse side, a small flaw in the lower part of the canvas is visible, but it does not affect the overall aesthetic of the piece.

Alfredo Cini (1887–1970) was an Italian painter active throughout the 20th century, renowned for his still lifes, landscapes, and floral compositions. His works are characterized by delicate strokes, vibrant colors, and a keen sensitivity to light.

Cini was praised for his ability to capture the intimacy of everyday subjects with a poetic and attentive eye. His paintings have appeared in various European auctions and have attracted growing interest among collectors of 20th-century Italian figurative art.
