Piatto Rotto 

"Piatto Rotto" by Pasquale Celommi depicts a dramatic scene in a humble home. A young child stands with their hands over their ears, seemingly distressed, while a woman with a broom scolds them in the foreground. A seated elderly woman, likely the child's grandmother, looks on with a somber expression. This Italian realist painting, created by the artist born in 1851, captures a moment of familial tension and perhaps the consequences of a broken dish, as the title suggests. The scene is set in a dimly lit interior, with a fireplace providing the only light source, further emphasizing the intimacy and realism of the moment.
