Carlo Jacono – Original illustration for “Confidenze” – The Flower of the Wind

Splendid original plate signed by Carlo Jacono , one of the most important Italian illustrators of the twentieth century, created for the story " Il fiore del vento ", published in the famous women's magazine Confidenze .

Jacono is best remembered for his iconic covers of Mondadori crime novels (Il Giallo Mondadori, Segretissimo, Urania), but he also had a prolific career as an illustrator of short stories and romance novels, lending his refined and evocative style to magazines such as Confidenze , Grazia , Grand Hotel , and many others.

This panel—crafted with great technical elegance—measures 50 x 36.5 cm and is in excellent condition . The composition, use of chiaroscuro, and attention to female faces are typical of his unmistakable style, which successfully blends pictorial aesthetics with a delicate yet intense visual narrative.

A work of art that is not only a precious document of Italian editorial illustration, but also a refined addition to any collection dedicated to comics, illustration, or the history of twentieth-century visual publishing.
