Vittorio Emanuele (XX) - Dal ciclo "La Sicilia nello studio"

Vittorio Emanuele – From the series “Sicily in the Studio” – Still Life with Fruit and Landscape
Original painting by Vittorio Emanuele, created in 1999, belonging to the painting cycle “Sicily in the Studio”.

The work is an oil painting on canvas depicting an evocative still-life composition: several pieces of fruit, arranged on a surface alongside a small decorative object, stand out against a Sicilian landscape view. In the background, a painting depicting a building surrounded by vegetation creates an interesting picture-within-a-picture effect, adding depth and character to the composition.

The color palette alternates warm, earthy tones with shades of blue and green, creating an intimate Mediterranean atmosphere.

The work comes with the original label from the Galleria d'Arte Ponte Rosso in Milan, listing the artist's name, the cycle's title, the medium, the date, and the catalog number. The gallery's stamps are also present on the back, documenting its commercial provenance.
