Alfredo Cini
Born in 1887.
Died in 1970.
Alfredo Cini (1887–1970) is listed in biographical entries under these dates and, according to certain commercial sources, is presented as an Italian painter, while SIKART records his activity in Switzerland. According to SIKART, he was active in Switzerland from 1929 onwards and also distinguished himself in techniques belonging to the decorative arts.
The production attributed to him encompasses landscapes, portraits, still lifes and works relating to abstraction. The techniques cited include fresco, mosaic and stained glass.
An oil on canvas entitled Nature Morte Aux Fleurs, signed ‘Alfredo Cini’ lower right, was offered and sold through Proantic, providing a concrete example of his pictorial work. The listing accompanying the sale describes the composition as “balanced and colourful” and characterises the brushwork as akin to the post-Impressionist style. The notice further specifies that the canvas is mounted on its original stretcher and presented in a period carved gilt frame, information useful for the material examination of the work.
Biographical references and the circulation of works appear mainly in commercial and biographical online databases, notably Artsper and Proantic. These sources provide concrete points of reference—dates, work titles and sales notices—that make it possible to write a substantiated gallery notice without claiming documentary exhaustiveness.
