Also known as
Ugo Celada da Virgilio
Ugo Celada (1895–1995), also catalogued as Ugo Celada da Virgilio, was an Italian painter associated with a sustained figurative practice. Public authority records align the shorter and expanded names and identify the same twentieth-century artist. Available biographical summaries emphasize portraiture, still life, the female figure, and other figurative compositions. Those recurring subjects help explain why collectors may encounter his work under varied descriptive auction headings rather than under a single named series. Some discovery sources connect Celada with Magic Realism and the Italian Return to Order, but the collected pack does not contain a museum or scholarly source strong enough to present either label as settled here. For entity matching, the key identifiers are his 1895–1995 lifespan, Italian nationality, occupation as a painter, and the name form Ugo Celada da Virgilio. Appraisily therefore treats this as the record of the painter Ugo Celada while preserving the expanded professional name as an alias.

Common works and media
The available biographical sources most consistently describe paintings centered on portraits, still lifes, female figures, and broader figurative compositions. Auction catalogues may group these works simply as paintings or classify them by subject. The source pack does not establish a reliable body of prints, sculptures, ceramics, editions, posters, or named series, so those categories should not be assumed without object-level evidence.
Market and appraisal context
Appraisal of a work attributed to Ugo Celada should begin by confirming that the attribution refers to the painter also catalogued as Ugo Celada da Virgilio. The available sources support portrait, still-life, and broader figurative subjects, making work type and subject useful starting points when selecting comparable lots. Signatures, inscriptions, materials, dimensions, physical condition, documented ownership, and the proposed date still require object-level examination; this source pack does not establish their artist-specific market effects. When reliable public auction records are available, sale dates, realized prices, attribution wording, and closely comparable subjects can provide additional context. No price trend or prediction is asserted because the collected evidence includes no accessible major-auction-house record set.

- Portrait paintings
- Still-life paintings
- Figurative paintings
Value drivers
- Confirmation that an attribution refers to the painter catalogued as both Ugo Celada and Ugo Celada da Virgilio
- Work type and subject, particularly distinctions among portraits, still lifes, and other figurative compositions
- Comparable public auction records, including sale dates and realized prices, when accessible
Appraisal caveats
- The collected pack contains no accessible major-auction-house catalogue pages, so it does not support price trends, record-price claims, or predictions.
- Artist-specific effects of condition, provenance, dimensions, materials, date, and attribution strength cannot be quantified from this source pack.
- Movement labels found in discovery sources were not added to structured art context because no museum, estate, catalogue, or scholarly source in the pack confirms them.
