Description:

ADOLF HITLER PRESENTATION LITHOGRAPH
A period lithograph of an oil painting by Italian artist Cesare Bacchi (1881-1971), 17.5 x 22 in. (sight), titled 'Franz Schubert,' it depicts an image of the famed Austrian composer Franz Schubert (1797-1828) sitting at a desk working on a symphony. In the top right appears an Italian inscription that reads 'Reproduction of the oil painting done by Cesare Bacchi', while at the bottom the piece is inscribed by the artist: 'To Fuhrer Adolf Hitler, cultivator of the genius of Cesare, office of Cesare Bacchi, 1937 XV EF.' Hitler was a well-known patron of ethnic German arts, as well as a pianist of some talent, and likely held Franz Schubert in a very high regard. Framed. Fine condition. Bacchi was one of the leading portraitists in Europe during the first half of the twentieth century. He painted notably the King of Italy, Vittorio Emmanuele III. Between 1910 and 1939 his paintings were exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris, where he was awarded the Gold Medal in 1938 for his portrait of the poet Paul Verlaine.
