Vanni Viviani, Maturation principle, oil on canva, 30x30 cm (50x50 cm with frame), 1985

Unique works by the master of the Emiliano-Lombard avant-garde Vanni Viviani, belonging to the Milanese period, where the series dedicated to the apple takes shape.

The "apple" is an object with very interesting symbolic meanings for Viviani.

Allusive and erotic symbol, fruit of religions, fairy tales, science and heroes, it evokes important moments of the past with its descriptive and citationist capacity, from the Golden Apple of Paris to the religiousness of Piero della Francesca, to the catharsis of Leonardesca's Last Supper, ending with Magrittian surrealism with the apple, symbol of life, sensuality, place of ideas, with an incomparable ability to represent the history and feelings of man through this metaphor.

This unique work was created in 1985 and has the signature both on the back and on the bottom.

The work is accompanied by the artist's authenticity countersigned by him.
