Description

Topalbano Illustration
L'arte Disney di Paolo Mottura (Art Portfolio)
Panini Comics, 2017

Watercolor on Bristol board
39 x 56 cm

Topalbano is Disney’s parody of the famous Inspector Montalbano, the iconic protagonist of Andrea Camilleri’s detective novels. This wonderful illustration by Paolo Mottura — who also created a story and two covers featuring the character — shows Topalbano in the midst of one of his investigations, side by side with Mickey Mouse.

The thrill of adding this masterpiece to my collection comes not only from the beauty of the artwork, nor simply from being Sicilian and a lifelong fan of Montalbano’s stories, but also because the scene takes place on a beach — most likely in Vigata. In other words… right at home!

Beautiful full color painting of Mickey. It's a kind of style and treatment we didn't get to see for the longest time and reserved only for special occassions.
