About Plinio Colombi

Born

Died

Nationality

Swiss

Plinio Colombi (1873–1951) was a Swiss painter and graphic artist. Authority records from Wikidata, VIAF, and Getty ULAN align on his identity, while VIAF aggregates library forms describing him as a Swiss artist and painter. Public examples collected for this page place his practice within the landscape and applied-graphic traditions of early-20th-century Switzerland. They include winter scenes dated 1902 and 1932, as well as travel posters promoting Spiez, Lake Thun, and the Lötschberg–Bern–Simplon route. These examples explain why collectors may encounter Colombi’s name on both paintings and printed promotional designs. The available evidence supports those media and subject contexts, but it does not establish a specific named movement or school, so none is assigned here. Appraisily therefore approaches Colombi through verified identity records, documented work examples, and auction-record matching rather than through a broad stylistic label.

Common works and media

Documented examples include winter landscape paintings, including an oil-on-canvas work dated 1932, and an earlier winter scene dated 1902 associated in the collected metadata with Kunstmuseum Bern. Colombi also produced graphic designs for Swiss travel promotion. Public-domain examples advertise Spiez and Lake Thun and the Lötschberg–Bern–Simplon route. These records support paintings, graphic works, and travel posters as the principal work types represented in this source pack; they do not establish the full range or relative frequency of his production.

Market and appraisal context

Appraisal should begin by distinguishing Colombi’s paintings from his graphic and poster work, since the collected evidence documents both categories. Dated winter paintings and Swiss travel posters show that works associated with his name can differ substantially in format and intended function. The supplied directory signal indicates auction-market coverage, but this research pack does not include individual lot descriptions, realized prices, edition statements, or major-auction-house commentary. No price direction or scarcity claim is therefore warranted. Any market comparison should use verified public sales for genuinely comparable work types and should not treat a poster and a painting as interchangeable evidence.

Auction categories and appraisal factors

Common auction categories

  • Paintings
  • Graphic works and travel posters

Value drivers

  1. Work category and medium, particularly the distinction between paintings and graphic or poster works
  2. Comparable public auction records matched to the same work type, when verifiable

Appraisal caveats

  • The source pack contains an auction-directory signal but no individual lot descriptions, realized prices, or major-auction-house analysis.
  • No artist-specific price trend, scarcity assessment, or price prediction can be supported from the collected evidence.
  • The evidence distinguishes paintings from graphic and poster works, but it does not provide edition information for the documented posters.
