studied the Old Masters in Rome and Florence, completing his refinement in
London, Paris and Madrid. He was commissioned to paint new frescos in palaces

I
have acquired a body of work by Giorgio Matteo Aicardi, consisting mainly of
watercolours and drawings of life studies, religious works and fresco designs,
dated from early to mid 20th century. The last image details part of the collection.
This listing is for a single paper, as detailed below. I will always combine
postage with multiple purchases. Acquired from an extensive studio sale of the
artist’s work.
