Still Life with Clock and Fruit

Oil on hardboard. Signed lower left. The Milanese artist, son of the famous painter Alcide Davide Campestrini, devoted himself to still life, figure painting, and Alpine landscapes, using a technique rooted in his father's school and the late 19th-century tradition. Typical of his work is the composition presented here, which juxtaposes scattered fruit—in this case, oranges and grapes—with an elegant, antique table clock. The painting is presented in a contemporary frame (1960s-1970s).

Figure in Landscape 1920

Presented here is a portrait of a man in walking attire against the backdrop of Alpine mountain slopes. The work is presented in a period frame.

Handwritten and autographed letter by the artist, dated 1951. The letter is addressed to Gino Ghiringhelli, founder of the historic Il Milione art gallery in Milan. In this letter, Rosai tells the gallery owner the titles of his paintings to be reproduced in the catalog, drawing sketches to match the title and date of production. In the composition presented here, the collector from whom the work originates has combined the letter with the cover and pages of the catalog with the aforementioned reproductions. The composition is presented in a frame.

Horse in a 1950s Landscape

Marker on rice paper, glued to cardboard. Signed at the bottom. Below is a dedication from the artist (Greetings dear - Aligi). The work is accompanied by a photo certificate from the Sassu Foundation, archive number PNV49. The protagonist of this drawing is once again the horse, the artist's favorite animal. He was fascinated by the energy and dynamic strength of these animals, which represented life itself and freedom, which Sassu expressed through the twisting of their figures. Sassu's works, which include painting, sculpture, and ceramics, showcase the power of horses in scenes of racing, battles, or immersed in nature, often with an emphasis on dynamism and plastic energy. Framed work.
