I have seen many other Vinciata lithographs on the web for sale. But have not found information on his work called "Medina".
I have a signed & numbered print (21/200) of this work - 16" x 20".
Internet research has revealed this about the artist:
Joseph Wallace King (1912-1996) was an an American painter from Winston-Salem, North Carolina, who signed his works “Vinciata”. He wanted to be an acrobat, but lost his left arm early in life. He served in the North Carolina State House from 1950-1952. Mr. King travelled to Florence, Italy, to perfect his portrait painting. During his career, Vinciata was commissioned to paint portraits of Richard Nixon, King Fahd and the royal Saudi family, Queen Elizabeth as well as the R. J. Reynolds family.
Any more information about him or this particular piece would be appreciated!
