Leda and the Swan" from 1936 signed
Historical opera on paper, pencils, tempera, ink. Very rare vintage painting, an exceptional pictorial narration of a bygone era.

Work published in a trade magazine (special Art)
Mario Somasca was born in Busto Arsizio in 1911 and died there in 1952. A student of Silvio Bicchi, he was above all a landscape painter of notable sensitivity, attentive to the artistic currents that were dominant at the time. Some oils are influenced by the climate of the twentieth century, while others seem to approach with conviction the experiences of the Milanese chiaroscuro artists.
One of the liveliest and most interesting personalities, although not entirely known and studied, in the rather stagnant environment of Busto Arsizio. He was a friend of artists and poets, including Walter Vedrini, and after the war he opened the first real art gallery in Busto Arsizio.
Marcello Martini was a friend and collaborator of Felice Casorati. The modernity of Marcello Martini lies in the power and strength of his images, a power emphasized even more by the fact that apparently his style is, indeed, linked to the classics: in addition to full-figure paintings of noblewomen, even in natural landscapes or urban settings that the painter depicts, there is an energy, an expressive force that is quite rare. Unlike avant-garde artists, provocative in their breaking of the image or rendering it surreal, Martini is clear in the depiction of the subjects he portrays.
The work has been published in various industry journals.
