About the Item
This extraordinary etching by prominent Italian artist Marino Marini is part of his celebrated Shakespeare Series, created in 1977. Marini brings his distinct Mid-Century Modernist approach to life through the intricate techniques of drypoint and aquatint, blending dramatic textures and tonal variations to evoke the timeless intensity and emotional complexity of Shakespearean themes.
The work is part of a limited edition of 50 prints, numbered VIII/L (8/50), and bears Marini's signature, lending authenticity and value to the piece. Known for his expressive exploration of human figures and mythology, Marini translates his sculptural and painterly expertise into this print, exemplifying his unique artistic vision.
The combination of etching, drypoint, and aquatint techniques allows Marini to achieve intricate details, velvety darkness, and rich atmospheric depth, which intensifies the emotionally resonant subject matter. As part of the Shakespeare Series, this artwork is steeped in literary inspiration and serves as both a homage to Shakespeare's brilliance and Marini's interpretation of its universal themes.
An exceptional piece for collectors of postwar Italian modernism, prints, or those with a passion for Shakespearean-inspired art, this etching is a rare and stunning embodiment of Marino Marini's legacy as one of Italy’s most distinguished 20th-century artists. Perfect as a gallery-worthy investment for art aficionados or to enrich any sophisticated space. Fitted in a custom Gallery frame, and in Excellent Vintage Condition.

Marino Marini
Marino Marini was born in Italy in 1901. Retrospectives of Marini's work took place at the Kunsthaus Zürich in 1962 and at the Palazzo Venezia in Rome in 1966. His paintings were exhibited for the first time at Toninelli Arte Moderna in Milan in 1963–64. In 1973, a permanent installation of his work opened at the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Milan, and in 1978 a Marini show was presented at the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo. Marini died in Viareggio. There is a museum dedicated to his work in Florence (in the former church of San Pancrazio); his work may also be found in museums in Italy and around the world, such as the Civica Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Milan and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C. Marini's work is authenticated by the experts at the Marino Marini Foundation in Pistoia, Italy.
