About the Item
The painting is entitled "La Vucciria," which is one of the most famous historic markets in Palermo, Sicily. The subject of the painting-with stalls, vegetables, hanging meat, and human figures-perfectly confirms this setting. Author: Mario Berrino
Signature visible both on the front of the painting (bottom right) and on the back, with dedication and date, 1991
Indicated next to the signature on the back of the canvas.
The painting is a tribute to Renato Guttuso, a well-known Sicilian painter, famous for his 1974 version of La Vucciria (an iconic work exhibited at Palazzo Chiaramonte-Steri in Palermo). The colorful, lively, and highly expressive style here recalls Guttuso's aesthetic, making this painting a clear tribute.
Technique and support:
Oil painting on canvas, as can be seen from the texture and the thick, textured brushstrokes.
Mounted on a wooden frame and framed with a simple black frame.
Subject and composition:
The scene depicts a crowded Sicilian market, with:
crates of fruit and vegetables (tomatoes, onions, salad, etc.)
people shopping (male and female figures)
a piece of meat hanging (typical of the butchers in the Vucciria market)
expressive, bright colors and a dynamic composition.
Mario Berrino (1920-2011) was an Italian painter, active primarily in Alassio (Liguria), known for his colorful works, often featuring landscapes, folk scenes, and lively subjects. Although his style is highly personal, in this work he deliberately adapts to evoke the Guttusian style.
A vibrant and colorful homage to Palermo's famous market, this work is an explicit tribute to the painter Renato Guttuso. Mario Berrino captures the vitality of the Sicilian market with an expressionist brushstroke and bustling scenes, evoking the typical atmosphere of the Vucciria: crates of vegetables, hanging meat, vendors and buyers immersed in the fascinating chaos of an iconic location.
Provenance: Signed and dated on the front and back. Dedicated: "Homage to Guttuso."
