"One of the classic images of Italian poster art advertises a
gas fixture. In this important early Italian Art Nouveau poster, a
cheerful half-undraped figure holds a sunflower with one hand and
points to the gas lamp, which is illuminating her, with the other.
Especially in the border, the details here, of colour, pattern and
form are endlessly fascinating"(Rennert,
PAI-XXII, 419)
"In 1895 the first commercial design worthy of the name was
brought out by Matoloni for Brevetto Auer: a beautiful nymph whose
bare body is draped in a thin veil gives us a voluptuous smile wreathed
by a radiant corona from the gas flame"(Weill
p.84)
