Description from the seller


You said:
A brief description for the sale of a work by master Antonio Sciacca. It depicts a Pulcinella, a Pulcinella who thinks and is a Pulcinella who has paused after a lifetime of work, always in contact with people. His figure has always been that of a mask, and here he stops with all his mask, next to a red coral which, for him, symbolizes life and hope. He is not a sad Pulcinella, nor a tired one; he is observing, for a moment, the world from a different perspective, as if he and others were wearing masks. The artwork measures 88 cm in height and 68 cm in width, signed by Antonio Sciacca both front and back, sold without a frame, complete and accompanied by a hand-signed certificate of authenticity.

Summary of the text
The artwork depicts a Pulcinella taking a break after a life spent among people, always behind the mask. He is neither sad nor tired but reflective: he observes the world from a new perspective, as if it is now others who are wearing a mask. Next to him, the red coral becomes a symbol of life and hope, marking a moment of awareness and contemplation.

Testo in italiano (versione per vendita)
This work by master Antonio Sciacca depicts a Pulcinella pausing to reflect after a life entirely lived in contact with people, always behind his mask. He is neither a sad nor tired Pulcinella, but aware: he observes the world from a different perspective, viewing himself and others as if they are now the ones wearing a mask. Next to him, the red coral, a symbol of life and hope, accompanies this moment of suspension and inner depth.

Original artwork measuring 88 x 68 cm, signed on the front and back by the artist, sold unframed, complete with a handwritten certificate of authenticity.
This artwork by master Antonio Sciacca depicts a Pulcinella pausing after a lifetime spent among people, always behind his mask. He is neither sad nor tired, but thoughtful and aware: observing the world from a new perspective, as if others were the ones wearing masks. Beside him, the red coral—symbol of life and hope—marks a moment of reflection and inner depth.
