Remo Mario Trentini Reverse Oil on Glass

About the Item

Presenting a stunning piece of original and highly desirable fine art, namely Remo Mario Trentini reverse oil on glass of a Parisienne picnic and riverside scene. Remo Mario Trentini (1915-1999) was a Dallas Surrealist Artist originally born in Innsbruck, Austria. He was raised in Roverato, a City in the Trento region of Northern Italy, nestled in the rugged Dolomite Mountains, a place he recalled often as a subject of his paintings. After attending the Art Academy in Turin for 5 years, he moved to Paris to study after WW2. He returned to Italy in the mid-1950s where he and his family lived in Rome. In 1976, Trentini moved his family to Onawa, Ontario, then in 1980 when his son Silvio (who served as his translator) entered SMU, moved to the US. Trentini worked from his home in Dallas, painting 7 or 8 hours a day on works in two markedly different styles. He made broadly impressionistic oil paintings on glass of places he knew during his lifetime (of which this painting is one of his times spent in Paris). He also painted detailed fantasy scenes in oil on canvas. Trentini’s works are in Private collections in Dallas, Toyko, New York City, the Vatican and Rome, as wells as Ottawa, Canada, and the Collection of the British Royal Family. His works have been exhibited in Dallas and other major Cities. In our opinion, Trentini's works will become very, very desirable again, in the near future. He was collected by some of the most well informed and serious art collectors in Texas and also in Chicago (where he also had a Gallery). A number of them have contacted us because of this painting ! Very, very few Trentini's have appeared on the Art Market and we can find no examples of his works selling at auction. This is unusual, as he was quite prolific and his works relatively recent i.e. within the last 40 years. This leads us to believe that the reason for their non appearance on the market is most likely because their owners 'love' them and have held on to them in their private collections. As people downsize their collections, we expect a number of Trentini's to appear on the market and the prices will SOAR !!! This is your chance to get one at a 'knock down' or 'bargain' price, as this painting probably cost in excess of $30k directly from the artist in the 80's !
