Dante Bertini - Standing Nude


Born in Mantua, this notable Italian painter first studied with the renowned figural painter, Angelo Dall’Oca Bianca, in Verona. Bertini specialised in genre paintings, landscapes and still-lives painted in a fluid style and with a characteristic soft and harmonious palette. This beautifully-composed figural work showcases Bertini’s bravura brushwork and expresses the artist’s lyrical appreciation of his young subject.
