Giuseppe Costantini (Nola, 1843 - Neaples, 1893). His painting represents in the typicality of genre scenes the custom of Neapolitan life and the everyday life of the people in the dusty interiors of the houses where he places children and old people in an exact reproduction of furniture, furnishings and objects of everyday life.
Giuseppe Costantini was the son of Don Giovanni, surgeon at the Military Hospital of Nola (originally from San Paolo Belsito), and Donna Carmela, of the wealthy family of Beard Nola. Giuseppe was the fourth of five brothers. After first studying at the Seminary of Nola, he went to the Art Institute in Naples and attended the Academy of BB. AA. at Naples between 1865 and 1866. After his academic studies, he became friends with the painters of the School of Posillipo, but returned to Nola around 1870 to take over the directorship of the School of Design & Applied Arts, where he remained until 1893, year of the death.

- Reginald Marsh "Brooklyn Bridge" NYC Modernism WPA Mid-Century Watercolor ModernBy Reginald MarshLocated in New York, NYReginald Marsh "Brooklyn Bridge" NYC Modernism WPA Mid-Century Watercolor Modern Reginald Marsh (American, 1898-1954) Brooklyn Bridge, 1940, Signed and dated Reginald Marsh May 1940 (lr), Watercolor over traces of pencil on paper , 15 x 22 inches sight. Reginald Marsh was born in Paris, France in 1898, the child of artist parents. He was born over a small cafe on Paris' Left Bank. He was brought to the United States in 1900 and was drawing before he was three. He studied art at Yale University and the Art Students League, during which time he worked primarily as an illustrator for New York newspapers and magazines. After studying in Paris in 1925 and 1926, he turned seriously to painting. In 1929 he was introduced to the egg-tempera medium, which he used extensively the rest of his life. Marsh's gusto for painting the bottom crust of society contrasted curiously with his background. His parents, both well-known artists, were steeped in academic traditions. He attended Lawrenceville Academy and Yale; perhaps this elite background made it possible to paint the earthy people he did with a journalist's objectivity. An admirer of Rubens and Delacroix, he disliked modernist art; indeed, his lifelong preoccupation was with people - enjoying themselves at beaches, at amusement parks, or on crowded city streets. Marsh was a second-generation Ash Can School painter and printmaker, best known as an urban regionalist. He spent his days sketching in small notebooks...Category
