## About Achille Funi

Achille Funi (1890–1972) was an Italian painter, printmaker, and teacher whose identity is consistently linked across Wikidata, VIAF, Getty ULAN, IdRef, and other authority records. Secondary summaries discuss his painting in relation to Italian modernism, a Neoclassical orientation, and the early Novecento milieu in Milan, although the collected institutional evidence is stronger on identity than on detailed career interpretation. Collectors may encounter Funi through paintings and print-related works offered under his name, as well as through catalogues that index him using established authority identifiers. For appraisal purposes, matching an object to the correct Achille Funi record is the first step, followed by comparison with works of the same type and medium. The consistently recorded 1890–1972 lifespan also helps distinguish him from similarly named creators and supports accurate catalogue and entity matching.

## Common works and media

Authority sources consistently identify Funi as a painter and printmaker, making paintings and prints the safest documented categories for cataloguing and appraisal. The collected evidence does not adequately establish recurring subjects, named series, edition practices, supports, or other frequently traded formats. Those characteristics should be determined from the object itself and from closely comparable catalogued works rather than assumed from the artist’s name.

## Market and appraisal context

The supplied Appraisily input associates 172 records with this artist page, indicating that public auction comparison material may be available. That count alone does not establish a value range or market direction, and the collected source pack does not expose the underlying lot descriptions or results. A careful appraisal should first separate paintings from prints, then compare the object only with records of an appropriate work type and medium. Where available, documented sale dates, realized prices, and genuinely comparable lots provide more useful context than an undifferentiated artist-level result count. Attribution and object-specific evidence should be reviewed before drawing conclusions from records filed under Funi’s name.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Source depth varies, so identity findings and market observations are presented with confidence and evidence limitations in mind.
