About this artwork
The work is a striking portrait that reimagines Scrooge McDuck, Disney's iconic millionaire duck, in a pictorial and dramatic way. Executed in oil on canvas, the painting adopts a format and style borrowed from classical portraiture.
The subject is immersed in a dark, almost indistinct background, accentuated by a chiaroscuro reminiscent of 17th-century masters. A beam of intense, focused light selectively illuminates his bearded face, his clasped… hands, and the central element: his "Number One," the first coin he earned, clutched with devotion. He wears his characteristic dark red coat and a top hat, which partially blends into the surrounding shadows. On either side, a few barely visible piles of coins reinforce the context of his boundless wealth. The duck's expression is one of profound, almost religious contemplation, avid satisfaction, and perhaps even a hint of melancholy.
Alessandro Marini, born in Rome in 1973, lives in Viterbo. After a course of studies focused on the artistic field, he began his personal journey in the mid-90s, where he debuted as an author in the world of comics with the magazine SHORTS. Since 2000, what had previously been a gradual transition to painting, has become definitive. Over time he has had the opportunity to experiment and deepen the use of the major pictorial techniques; finding in oil painting the most suitable expressive capacity to combine his grotesque and generally monochromatic style with an idea of tradition. Alessandro Marini's world is inhabited by silent, solitary characters, full of distorted expressiveness, where from within closed and dark environments, they have the ability to attract the attention of the viewer through their dark looks full of sustained and intriguing irony. In recent years he has collaborated with artists in various sectors, creating themed exhibitions and multimedia shows.
