Provenance
the artist's gift to the friend Amedeo Fuga.
For inheritance to the actual owner.

In coeval frame.
The painting was executed at the request of the friend Amede Fuga (1880-1959).
The bond of friendship between Vittorio and Emilio unfolds over very long times.
The two were in fact among the components of greater reference than in the facts
was a cheerful cenacle sui generis” of young people who produced applied and applied figurative art, theatre and
music in that proud and flourishing Autonomous City that was the Murano of the very first‘900.
Testimony of the existence of this group is also in the catalogue Vittorio Zecchin 1878-1847, painting, glass, decorative arts,
(marsilio, Venice 2002) that publishes and identifies a series of caricatures made by Vittorio to his friends.
In Emilio Fuga’s house has long remained an additional set of caricatures of the same characters, this time as dry chalks (in color). Emilio asked Vittorio to paint four canvases representing the seasons. Vittorio then performed the first, “Autumn” which is presented here. The other canvases requested were never painted.
