Condition
This work appears to be in good condition overall. There is a tiny loss by the upper left corner probably inherent to the artist's working method. There is a small tear to the left of the white element of the composition, towards the center. No traces of retouching appear to be visible under UV light. The blue tonality is slightly warmer compared to the catalogue illustration.

In un cielo in cui Dio non appare si muovono terrestri e celesti energie. Forse, quando Van Gogh, l'artista che egli particoloarmente amava, dipingeva con pennellate vorticose i notturni stellati, dimostrava d'aver intuito proprio questa stessa presenza delle energie che pervadono la natura. Era il traslato di una percezione profonda. La 'linea' di Licini non ha poeticamente un'origine diversa. E' una linea flessibile e vitale, dotata di un suo scatto improvviso.
(Mario de Micheli, Un cielo di angeli ribelli, in Osvaldo Licini. Dipinti e disegni, Milano 1988, p.13)
