Oscar Ricciardi
Staircase in old Naples chestnut seller and antique dealer

About the Item

This work of art depicts a lively scene in a typical Naples alleyway. Time-worn stone staircases climb between ancient buildings with yellow facades. Colorful banners float above the street, adding a festive touch. To the right, open-fronted stores display furniture and other wares, reflecting the commercial activity of the scene. Figures in period dress enliven the picture: one woman climbs the steps with a basket, while another cooks chestnuts on the side. The monumental arch at the top of the stairs leads to another, wider street where other passers-by continue on their way. The soft morning light gently illuminates the scene, accentuating the textures and architectural details. This work captures the essence of a vibrant day, blending tradition and everyday life in a historic setting.
