You’ve seen his images. You just never knew his name.
Renato Fratini was one of the most influential illustrators of the 20th century — shaping the visual identity of Italian cinema, James Bond, and an era of bold, kinetic film art.
For decades, the imagery endured. The authorship did not.
This is the first authorised archive of his work — endorsed by the Fratini family — bringing together original art, rare film posters and privately held material across more than 900 images in a definitive 448-page volume.
More than a tribute. This is a correction.
Classically trained in Rome, Fratini developed his cinematic style in Italy’s film studios before being invited to London in 1958. The British film industry would not look the same again.
If you love…
