Still Life with Marsala Bottle 1917

"Still Life with Marsala Bottle" is a 1917 oil painting by Gino Severini, a leading figure of the Italian Futurist movement. The work depicts a fragmented arrangement of objects, a stylistic choice typical of Severini’s later work, where he combined Cubism and Futurism. The bold geometric shapes and vibrant colors of the still life showcase the influence of both these movements, representing a fascinating synthesis of the two artistic trends. Severini's use of flat planes and bold outlines create a dynamic composition, typical of the Cubist aesthetic. The artwork is currently on display at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain.
