Description: Artini is often attributed to mid-20th-century Italian artisans known for producing decorative wall art featuring etched or engraved scenes on wood, typically referred to as “Artini Engravings.” These works often depict religious, pastoral, or historical themes. The company or group behind the Artini brand remains somewhat obscure, but the artworks were popular in the 1960s and 1970s and were often sold as home décor items. They are known for their distinctive style and craftsmanship. The process for creating Artini engravings usually involves a combination of relief carving and printing techniques on wood, followed by hand-painting or staining. The method typically includes: 1. The scenes are engraved or carved into a wooden base, often using mechanical tools or hand-carving techniques. The engraved lines form the outlines of the image. 2. The engraved areas are recessed, creating a relief effect where the higher portions of the wood remain untouched or are carefully shaped to enhance the three-dimensional effect. 3. The intricate details are etched into the wood, capturing the nuances of the scene, like folds of clothing, architectural elements, or natural features. 4. After the engraving is complete, the wood is often stained or hand-painted to enhance the visual effect. The contrast between the etched areas and the unetched areas creates depth and dimension. 5. Many Artini engravings are finished with a protective varnish or lacquer to preserve the wood and the artwork. These pieces are known for their rich textures, earthy tones, and traditional themes, making them popular with collectors of mid-century home décor. This piece is in very good condition; the back shows where a label and price sticker were previously. The picture is approximately 7 and 3/4 inches in diameter and weighs approximately 1 pound. The picture can be hung by itself or displayed on the included wooden stand. Please see photos. This item will be carefully packed then shipped via USPS Ground Advantage.
