“Sguardo Sorpreso” (Surprised Look) is a 30x40 cm oil on canvas portrait by Bibi Guarnieri, depicting the legendary Neapolitan actor Antonio De Curtis, better known as Totò.
Painted in black and white, Totò wears his iconic bowler hat while smelling a red flower resembling a gerbera, his expression a mix of curiosity, amusement, and surprise. A vivid red brushstroke outlines the back of his head and hat, echoing the flower’s hue and creating a refined contrast between elegance and playfulness.
“Sguardo Sorpreso” by Bibi Guarnieri is a heartfelt homage to Totò, the timeless prince of Italian comedy.
Rendered in black and white, the portrait captures Totò with his classic bowler hat and a slightly comic, surprised look as he smells a vibrant red flower, symbolizing spontaneity and joy.
The red paint stroke that contours the figure and hat adds depth and emotion, tying the entire composition together with warmth and expressive energy.
With her signature sensitivity, Bibi Guarnieri distills Totò’s essence into one vivid expression — a fusion of curiosity, humanity, and irony. A poetic and evocative work, ideal for collectors and admirers of Italian cinema and fine contemporary portraiture.
