Oil painting on canvas. Signed lower right. Further signature and title on the back. Mario Cortiello, a Neapolitan painter who was a pupil of Gennaro Villani and then a friend and collaborator of Umberto Lilloni, participated with his personal style in the renewal of Neapolitan painting, without moving away from tradition. Endowed with fertile invention and notable representative capacity, he left behind a rich and varied production. Recurring in his production are landscape or urban views, populated by numerous figures, often, in the Neapolitan setting, by Pulcinella, depicted floating on dreamlike backgrounds, so much so that he has been defined as the Neapolitan Chagall. In this painting Cortiello offers a glimpse of the island of Ponza, animated by figurines intent on their daily activities. The work is presented in a frame.
