Eugenio Spreafico
Little girl with turkeys

About the Item

Eugenio Spreafico (Monza, 1856 - Magreglio, 1919) Little girl with turkeys Tecnica mista su carta Size: 53x35 cm (81x61 cm including frame) Si forma artisticamente all'Accademia di Brera, dove è allievo di Francesco Hayez e Giuseppe Bertini, dai quali viene indirizzato ad un Verismo di stampo romantico. Esordisce a Brera nel 1880, inaugurando una duratura attività espositiva nel segno di una pittura basata sul vero. Le campagne di Monza e i paesaggi del Lago di Como sono spesso i protagonisti delle sue tele. Nella prima fase della sua attività, si dedica anche a ritratti di Romanticismo sentimentale, influenzati dal maestro Hayez. Beginning in 1881, the so-called Monza period, Spreafico approached the Verismo of fellow citizen Moses Bianchi, who paid particular attention to the plots of contemporary Scapigliatura. Viene apprezzato come attento illustratore della natura, con opere ispirate alla campagna lombarda. I soggetti prediletti, in questa fase, sono le lavoratrici e i lavoratori: contadini, lavandaie, operai, bambini intenti nella lettura mentre curano il bestiame, figure rappresentate mentre sono immerse nella natura, in uno stretto rapporto tra la figura e il paesaggio. Dalla metà degli anni ottanta si trasferisce a Magreglio, dove si dedica alla pittura di paesaggio, soprattutto di Monza, della Brianza e dei suoi laghi, oltre all'esecuzione di ritratti su commissione. In questa fase, alterna una pittura realistica, con intenti narrativi e sentimentali a una forte attenzione a temi sociali e al lavoro nei campi, in particolare quello femminile in analogia ad alcune opere dei colleghi Emilio Longoni e Pellizza da Volpedo. In his later period, which spans from the early 1900s to his death, he sought an elaboration of the painting in a post-scapigliata key.
