Mimmo Paladino is an Italian artist, painter, sculptor and engraver. He was among the main exponents of the Transavanguardia, an Italian artistic movement founded in 1980, that reconsidered painting and traditional artistic techniques as renewed after the conceptual movements developed in Europe in the 1970s. A perfect example of the renewed traditional forms of art, the subject of this lithograph recalls mythological and ancient protagonists. His works are permanently exhibited in some of the major international museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art of New York. Trans-avant-garde wanted a return to painting after the different conceptual and minimalist currents of the '70s.
