Like his teacher Pietro Annigoni, Romano Stefanelli spent his artistic career reviving the Renaissance. Florence born, he was multidisciplinary - earning esteem for his paintings, sculptures, graphics and large scale frescos stationed throughout Italy.

In ‘Portrait of Susan’, Stefanelli demonstrates his talent for portraiture. Eyes averted, hair wind-swept and lips pursed, this image almost moves beneath the eye. Its timeless beauty testify to an artist who may be indebted to the Renaissance, but remains relevant today.

Further adding intrigue to this work is its glamorous provenance, the details of which will be revealed to its next custodian. For collectors of international art and admirers of the Renaissance, ‘Portrait of Susan’ is an exquisite find.
