About Giovanni Bartolena
Born
1886
Died
1942
Nationality
Italian
Giovanni Bartolena was an Italian painter known chiefly for landscapes. Public summaries in the available source pack also describe landscapes with animals, while a French-language overview adds still lifes to his documented subject range. Collectors may therefore encounter his name in connection with Italian landscape paintings, rural or animal scenes, and still-life compositions offered at auction. The present evidence does not support assigning him to a specific movement or school, so his context is best described through documented media and subjects rather than a broader stylistic label. Bartolena is linked to several international authority records, but the collected biographical evidence remains thin. It also contains a birth-year conflict: the Wikidata extract gives 1886, while metadata for a public-domain portrait gives 1866. His death year is consistently given as 1942. Exact birth information should remain qualified until an accessible institutional or scholarly source resolves the discrepancy.

Common works and media
Works encountered under Bartolena's name are most consistently described as paintings, especially landscapes. Documented subject variations include landscapes populated by animals and still-life compositions. The supplied evidence does not establish particular painting materials, print editions, sculptures, ceramics, drawings, posters, or named series, so those categories should not be attributed without work-specific documentation.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisal should begin with the characteristics documented by the available evidence. The clearest supported distinctions are landscapes, landscapes incorporating animals, and still lifes; comparable lots should therefore be matched by subject category rather than pooled indiscriminately. Appraisily's artist page indicates an auction-record set, but this source pack contains no individual lot descriptions, dimensions, condition reports, signatures, provenance histories, sale dates, or realized prices. Those details must be examined in the underlying records before reaching a valuation conclusion. The unresolved birth-year discrepancy also makes careful identity matching important. This profile supports research and comparable selection; it does not authenticate a work or predict its value.

- Relevance of comparable public auction records associated with the artist
Appraisal caveats
- The collected source pack contains no individual auction-lot descriptions, conditions, dimensions, provenance histories, sale dates, or realized prices, so it does not support a price prediction.
- The conflicting birth years in the collected identity and portrait metadata require careful entity matching.
- Several institution-grade authority endpoints were rate-limited or supplied no excerpt, limiting independent verification.
