Step into the dazzling world of vintage Italian advertising art with Isolabella by Leonetto Cappiello, transformed into a museum-quality full-coverage cross stitch pattern by Serenity Stitchworks.
Cappiello produces an image of a multi-colored harlequin, indicating the large variety of products made by the Milan-based firm of Isolabella & Figlio. Their products included Amaro (bitters), Mardarinetto and Vermout which are shown by colorful, randomly strewn bottles around the central figure, competing for attention. Here again, Capiello's signature black background makes the message pop in a glorious way.
This striking and theatrical poster features a dynamic harlequin figure leaping across a dramatic black background while surrounded by floating bottles of Isolabella liqueur. The colorful diamond-pattern costume, energetic pose, and glowing bottles create a sense of movement and spectacle that instantly captures attention — a hallmark of Cappiello’s revolutionary advertising style.
Known as the “father of modern advertising,” Cappiello transformed poster design in the early twentieth century through bold silhouettes, dramatic contrasts, and unforgettable imagery. Isolabella is a brilliant example of his ability to combine whimsy, elegance, and visual impact into a single iconic composition.
Carefully charted to preserve the luminous colors, strong contrast, and intricate costume details of the original artwork, this artistic cross-stitch design creates an extraordinary finished piece for lovers of vintage posters, Art Deco aesthetics, and theatrical imagery.
Perfect for admirers of vintage advertising posters, harlequin and carnival imagery, Art Nouveau and Art Deco design, Italian commercial art, and museum-quality artistic cross-stitch patterns.
