Ettore De Maria Bergler, Napoli 1850 - Palermo 1938 (Naples 1850 - Palermo 1938) - Ettore De Maria Bergler was born in Naples on December 25, 1850, to a Sicilian father and a Viennese mother. His artistic training began in Palermo, where, between 1875 and 1877, he was a pupil of Francesco Lojacono, known for his landscapes and seascapes of accurate realistic rendering. Thanks to the support of Baron Giovanni Riso di Colobria, an enlightened patron of the arts, De Maria Bergler was able to further his studies in Naples and Florence, coming into contact with prominent artists such as Domenico Morelli, Filippo Palizzi and the Macchiaioli, including Giovanni Fattori and Giuseppe De Nittis. This period was fundamental to his artistic growth, allowing him to assimilate various stylistic and technical influences.In the following years, De Maria Bergler established himself as a painter of typically Sicilian landscapes and genre scenes, participating in numerous regional and national exhibitions, including the 1891-92 National Exhibition of Palermo and several editions of the Venice Biennale from 1901 to 1912. His works, characterized by soft, luminous brushstrokes, reflect an evocative naturalism that often resulted in elegant portraits and landscapes vibrant with Mediterranean light.Parallel to easel painting, De Maria Bergler distinguished himself as a decorator, contributing significantly to the Art Nouveau movement in Italy. He collaborated with architect Ernesto Basile and furniture maker Vittorio Ducrot on important decorative projects in Palermo, including the ceiling frescoes of the Teatro Massimo (1893) and the dining room of the Grand Hotel Villa Igiea (1900), where he produced works of pure floral taste, perfectly integrated into the environments designed by Basile. He also decorated interiors of steamships such as the "Giulio Cesare," the "Roma," the "Dux," and the "Caio Duilio," bringing Art Nouveau aesthetics to naval design as well.From 1913 to 1931, De Maria Bergler taught figurative painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Palermo, influencing a new generation of artists. Among his students was Michele Dixitdomino. His works are now held in important public collections, including the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Palermo, the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome and the Galleria d'Arte Moderna Ca' Pesaro in Venice.Ettore De Maria Bergler died in Palermo on February 28, 1938Ettore De Maria Bergler was born in Naples on December 25, 1850, to a Sicilian father and a Viennese mother.
