## About Júlio Resende

Júlio Resende (1917–2011), born Júlio Martins Resende da Silva Dias in Porto, Portugal, was a Portuguese painter, printmaker, and ceramicist whose career spanned over six decades. He was affiliated with the Universidade do Porto and is documented in major art-historical references including the Bénézit Dictionnaire critique et documentaire des peintres and the Allgemeines Lexikon der bildenden Künstler (Vollmer). Resende worked across painting, printmaking, and ceramics, and his production is well represented in auction records. He died in Valbom, Gondomar, Portugal, in 2011. Collectors most frequently encounter his work through European post-war and contemporary art sales.

## Common works and media

Resende is known to have worked in oil on canvas, works on paper (including drawings and prints), and ceramics. His auction footprint includes paintings of varied dimensions, editioned prints, and ceramic pieces. Collectors should be aware that attribution should reference the painter Júlio Resende (1917–2011) specifically, as a Portuguese musician of the same name also has public presence.

## Market and appraisal context

Júlio Resende's work appears regularly at auction, with over 560 recorded lots, indicating sustained market presence. Key factors that affect appraisal include the medium (oil paintings generally carry more weight than works on paper or prints), the work's date and period, provenance, condition, and subject matter. Ceramic pieces by the artist are also documented. Because Resende is not strongly associated with a single named movement in available authority records, appraisal should rely on comparable auction results and the work's individual merits rather than movement-driven benchmarks.
