"Pulcinella Morente" (Dying Punchinello) is an 18th-century oil painting by Italian artist Marco Marcola (1740–1793), who was active during the late Baroque and early Neoclassical periods. Marcola, born in Verona, is known for his genre scenes, portraits, and historical subjects, and "Pulcinella Morente" stands out as one of his more intriguing works due to its subject matter and emotional depth.

The painting depicts Pulcinella, a classic character from the Commedia dell'arte, which was a form of improvisational theater popular in Italy from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Pulcinella, known for his wit and humor, is often portrayed as a comic servant character, and his presence in art is emblematic of the Italian theatrical tradition. However, in Marcola's "Pulcinella Morente," the character is shown in a rare moment of vulnerability, as he is portrayed on the brink of death.

The artwork captures the juxtaposition of the comedic nature of Pulcinella with the somber reality of human mortality. Marcola's use of color, composition, and expression imbues the painting with a poignant sense of drama and reflection on the fleeting nature of life and laughter. The painting is significant for its departure from the typically lighthearted representations of Commedia dell'arte characters, offering a deeper, more contemplative look at a figure that audiences were accustomed to seeing in a far different light.

"Pulcinella Morente" is a notable example of Marcola's skill in blending the traditional with the innovative, as he takes a well-known cultural icon and presents it in a context that invites both empathy and introspection. The painting is a valuable piece for the study of 18th-century Italian art, as well as for understanding the evolution of Commedia dell'arte's influence on visual arts.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, "Pulcinella Morente" is reflective of the artistic trends and cultural shifts occurring in Italy during Marcola's lifetime. The work is housed in a collection or museum that preserves Italian Baroque paintings, contributing to the legacy of Commedia dell'arte in the visual arts and offering insight into the period's complex interplay between theater, culture, and art.
