Description from the seller
Oil painting on canvas depicting a "scugnizzo" with a cap and a cigarette, signed V. Castaldo
This portrait represents the 'scugnizzo', the typical street boy of Naples, a subject very popular in Italian art of the 19th and 20th centuries. These paintings captured daily life and the characteristic figures of the streets of Naples, often depicting young people with lively expressions and clothing typical of the era. The signature 'V. Castaldo' indicates an artist of the Neapolitan school, where painters specialized in this genre of popular portraits that documented local culture and customs.
These paintings are highly valued by collectors of 20th-century Italian art and by enthusiasts of Neapolitan art for their historical and cultural value. They represent an important document of the social life of the time, capturing the essence of Neapolitan popular culture through expressive portraits and technically well-executed work. Collectors of Italian regional art and scholars of social history find particular interest in these works for their authenticity and ability to tell stories of daily life.
Dimensions with frame (provided as a courtesy): 59x50x5
