[ART] - CANNICCI Niccolò (1846 - 1906) - Between Illness And Art: Cannicci Prepares For Exhibition - Autograph letter signed, dated “Colle Val d’Elsa 24 Ott 905” by the Italian painter and illustrator. 1 p. On postcard. To Mr. Hauptmann: “…Mi affretto a farle pervenire le mie scuse, se per ragioni di salute, non ho ancora risposto inviando la mia scheda di Esposizione (…) dichiarandole fino da oggi che io esporrò 2 quadretti…”. This letter belongs to the final phase of Cannicci’s career, when participation in exhibitions remained essential despite declining health. As a painter linked to the Tuscan artistic milieu, he relied on such events to maintain his presence in the market. Postcard correspondence is relatively common, yet gains interest when tied to exhibition activity. It provides insight into the logistical aspects of artistic life in early 20th-century Italy and reflects the artist’s personal condition. •⁠> This lot is located in and ships from the UK.
