Alberto Mastroianni

(Parigi, 1903 - Roma, 1974)

Alberto Mastroianni had as his first teacher his father Domenico, painter and sculptor; he attended the Academy of Fine Arts and spent whole days sketching animals with a satirical vein, because in them he found harmony and the relationship between line and content. In 1928 he moved to Rome where he remained until his death. He held various personal exhibitions obtaining great success for his ironic and pleasantly odd painting. Ebonized wood frames, 44 x 124 cm each.
