Franco Gentilini – The Cathedral Of Spoleto, Color Lithograph

An important color lithograph by Franco Gentilini depicting the famous Spoleto Cathedral, one of the most representative subjects in the artist’s graphic work. The piece interprets the monument’s architecture through a modern and refined visual language, characterized by a balanced interplay between figuration and formal abstraction.

The composition stands out for the elegance of its lines, the vibrancy of its colors, and the distinctive decorative sensibility that made Gentilini one of the most celebrated figures in 20th-century Italian art. The architectural geometries are reinterpreted with great expressive freedom, giving rise to an image of strong visual impact and considerable collectible value.

As attested by the original publisher’s label affixed to the reverse, the lithograph was produced in 1965 in a limited edition of 150 copies signed by the artist. Upon completion of the print run, the lithographic stones were destroyed, in accordance with the custom of art editions.

A work of great elegance, ideal for collectors of 20th-century Italian graphic art and for interiors furnished with modern and refined taste.
