What elevates the collection beyond rarity is the return of three artists whose names are inseparable from The Macallan’ s artistic legacy. Sir Peter Blake, Valerio Adami, and Michael Dillon— each of whom contributed to the celebrated 1926 release— have reunited to create new works conceived exclusively for Romantica. Their new works explore The Macallan’ s themes of Time Travel, nature, and community, each interpreted through the artist’ s own distinctive lens.
Valerio Adami is an Italian painter known for his distinctive style of Narrative Figuration, characterised by bold, black outlines enclosing flat areas of bright, unmodulated color. He is considered a major figure in contemporary art, blending figuration with abstraction and exploring complex themes through his work. Adami’ s work often features recognisable figures and objects but presents them in a schematic and fragmented way, creating a narrative structure that invites interpretation.
