Questions About Vintage Figurative Paintings
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 9, 2024
    To tell if a painting is vintage, research the artist and determine when they were active. There are mobile apps that can help you identify the artist by referencing a photo of the signature on your painting. If your painting is over 20 years old but less than 100, it would generally be considered vintage. However, experts don't often use the term vintage to describe art. If you need assistance with the dating process, enlist the help of a certified appraiser or experienced art dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a diverse assortment of paintings.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    The first Italian painter to paint realistic figures was Giotto di Bondone. His works marked a departure from the elongated, stylized forms common in early Christian art and served as inspiration for Italian Renaissance painters. Giotto's most famous paintings include Lamentation, the Ognissanti Madonna, the Kiss of Judas and Pentecost. Explore a diverse assortment of fine art on 1stDibs.
