"Salvatore Marchesi-the Painter, Born In Parma, Became A Palermitan By Adoption ."
Salvatore Marchesi - Delicate watercolor depicting a seated figure, elegantly dressed in red satin, with a stick in his hands. It would seem a Master of Ceremonies. The watercolor rendering is harmonious and plastically vivid. The painter, born in Parma, became a Palermitan by adoption for his 36 years of life in the Sicilian capital. Already a professor at the Academy, his settings with glimpses of sacristies in small churches illuminated in the shadows, and friars in the dark contrasted by strokes of grazing light, are highly appreciated and sought after. Period around 1890. Cm.32x20
