Luciano Ventrone Painting
The day that catches the light
Oil on canvas, signed lower right L. Ventrone ’76.
In the classic, ultra-realistic style of the painter, in the foreground it depicts a hand holding a light bulb.
An ingenious effect is made by the reflection, in a kind of anamorphosis, reflecting the artist almost like a self-portrait, a dazzling effect like that of The Arnolfini Portrait, the famous painting by the Flemish painter Jan van Eyck.
Our painting dates to 1976, an especially rare period on the market, and comes with a certificate of authenticity issued directly by the Ventrone Archive. The work has been authenticated directly by the artist and cataloged in the Ventrone Archive under the number 003_1976.
