Also known as

Francisco Nicolas Tamagno, Nicolas Tamagno

Francisco Tamagno (1862–1933) was an Italian painter and poster artist whose documented career was centered in France from 1880 to 1914. Public authority records also identify him as Nicolas Tamagno and Francisco Nicolas Tamagno, an important distinction when matching signatures, catalog entries, and auction records. Collectors most often encounter his graphic work through commercial, travel, and entertainment posters. Cataloged examples advertise destinations such as Chamonix, Royan, and Luchon, consumer products and clothing, and cinema or theatrical subjects. These commissions place his work within the flourishing French poster culture of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, although the available sources do not establish a formal movement affiliation. His advertising designs were issued as printed works, so surviving examples may differ in dimensions, printer information, condition, and later presentation. Tamagno also appears in public records as a painter, but the strongest institution-linked evidence collected for this page concerns his poster production.

Common works and media

Works most likely to appear in appraisal and auction contexts include illustrated advertising posters, travel and railway promotions, commercial product advertisements, and cinema or entertainment posters. Documented subjects include Chamonix and other French destinations, beverages, clothing, and film or performance promotions. Paintings and other works on paper may also be cataloged under Tamagno's name, but their medium, authorship, date, and relationship to his better-documented poster practice should be assessed from the individual object and its provenance.

Market and appraisal context

Francisco Tamagno's auction market is best approached by comparing like with like: original paintings should not be compared directly with printed posters, and posters should be matched by subject, dimensions, printing characteristics, date, and publisher or printer where known. Condition is especially consequential for paper-based material; fading, trimming, tears, folds, restoration, mounting, and backing can affect comparability. Signature or attribution wording, provenance, exhibition or catalogue references, and confidence that the work belongs to Tamagno should also be checked. Appraisily's public market page reports matched auction records and realized-price data, but coverage is incomplete and reporting conventions may differ. A defensible appraisal therefore uses recent comparable public sales as evidence, not as a price guarantee.

Appraisal caveats

  • Public auction records are evidence inputs rather than a final appraisal or price guarantee.
  • Private sales, incomplete auction feeds, differing fee conventions, and later attribution changes may not be represented.
  • Appraisily's broad category labels should be checked against the medium and description of each underlying lot.
  • Authentication and a direct condition examination can materially change an appraisal conclusion.
