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.

    Howard Tangye (b.1948, Australia) has been an influential force in fashion for decades. Lecturing at London’s Central Saint Martins for 35 years, including 16 years as head of BA Womenswear. There, he tutored many contemporary greats, including John Galliano, Stella McCartney, Christopher Kane, Wes Gordon, Zac Posen and Hussein Chalayan. Examples of Tangye’s portraits are held in many important collections, both public and private, including the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), Harvard University and London’s National Portrait Gallery. Throughout his teaching career Tangye quietly developed a particularly idiosyncratic art practice. By employing a decisive line with bold applications of richly layered materials, Tangye explores the nuances of the human form in an effort to expose his subjects’ true essence and energy. — Howard Tangye Craig (Richard's Friend - Sitting - Blue Jacket), 2012 Mixed media on grey...
