AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Original work by maestro Antonio Sciacca, titled Lo stupore, executed in oil on canvas.
The painting, measuring 50x70 cm, features a powerful composition on a black background, capable of highlighting the central subject with great intensity: a Franciscan friar portrayed in half-bust.
The face, framed by a natural and austere beard, is marked by an expression of genuine astonishment.
The eyes, deep and wide open, immediately capture the viewer's gaze, creating a direct and engaging emotional connection.
An element of extraordinary symbolic strength is the coral branch that emerges from the center of the friar's chest: an unexpected and evocative detail, which introduces a dialogue between spirituality and nature, between interiority and organic life.
The contrast between the dark background and the vivid red of the coral amplifies the visual tension, making the work extremely dramatic and memorable.
Artwork signed on the front and back by the artist.
A work of strong emotional impact, capable of standing out for originality, expressive intensity, and symbolic value.
It will be shipped with professional, careful packaging and trackable shipping.
