Amedeo Merello (1890-1979) - Delizie di Settembre

Genoese painter Amedeo Merello (1890–1979), cousin of the renowned divisionist Rubaldo Merello. The artist was historically nicknamed in the Ligurian scene as "the painter of mushrooms," a specialty that made him famous for the extraordinary material texture and naturalistic rendering of forest undergrowth subjects.
The painting, titled "Delizie di Settembre," depicts a rich autumnal composition with porcini mushrooms, boletes, and chestnuts, rendered with a warm color palette and a vibrant painting technique full of atmosphere.
The work is particularly interesting for its perfect traceability and completeness, featuring signatures and markings on both the front and the back of the painting. All of it is framed in a typical curved frame lined with brown velvet. The painting is generally in decent condition and shows signs of wear typical of its age.
