Luciano Guarnieri

Luciano Guarnieri - Moon Landing or L'Allunaggio

Moon Landing (L'Allunaggio)

"Moon Landing" (L'Allunaggio) is clearly one of Luciano Guarnieri's greatest original lithograph's from the "Luna 1969" set. The light from the lunar module takes on an ethereal quality. In what must have been an experience of a lifetime Luciano Guarnieri was invited by NASA to meet and work with the astronauts Conrad, Gordon and Bean at the Space Center, Houston. He subsequently attended the launching of Apollo XII at Cape Kennedy and artistically delineated everything surrounding one of the most historic landings on the Moon. "Luna 1969" was published in Florence in March of 1970. The entire portfolio consisted of fourteen large lithographs, each signed and numbered in a limited edition of 375 impressions. This original lithograph contains both color printings and applied hand coloring by the artist, Luciano Guarnieri.

  Luciano Guarnieri's first experiments with lithography date from 1962. Since that time he has created a fine oeuvre of color lithographs (some with extra applications of hand coloring) depicting scenes throughout Europe and North America. Many of these have been published as sets, such as "Mexico" (12 lithographs, 1962), "New York" (14 lithographs, 1965), "Firenze" 'Florence' (12 lithographs, 1966), "Ombra su Praga" 'Shadow over Prague' (12 Lithographs, 1969) and "Luna 1969" 'Moon 1969' (14 lithographs, 1970).
