About the Item

Eugenio Zampighi (Italian, 1859-1944) A fine and charming Italian 19th/20th century oil on canvas Titled "A Joyous Family" depicting an interior scene of a seated joyous mother with her smiling toddler child on her lap, as her young daughter amuses them while holding a small kitten picked-up from the cat litter basket below, with three more kittens in it, at the watchful eye of the mother cat and chickens feeding all over the floor; within its original ornate giltwood and gesso finely carved frame. Signed: 'E. Zampighi' (lower left). Circa: 1900. Provenance Private collection, Buffalo, New York, since circa 1960s; Thence by descent to the present owner. Canvas height: 22 inches (55.9 cm) Canvas width: 30 1/2 inches (77.5 cm) Frame height: 35 inches (88.9 cm) Frame width: 43 1/4 inches (109.9 cm) Frame hepth: 4 1/2 inches (11.5 cm) Eugenio Zampighi (1859–1944) was an Italian painter and photographer, mainly of Genre subjects. He was born in Modena and enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Modena under Antonio Simonazzi. At a very young age and from his early history paintings on he was influenced by the verist Modenese painter Giovanni Muzzioli. After winning the Poletti Prize for painting in 1880, with his entry, A Retiarius (net-man) gladiator wounded in a Flavian Amphitheater, he had the opportunity of continuing his studies first in Rome and later in Florence where he settled permanently in 1884. During the 1880s, he began to produce a repertoire of genre scenes, which had an extraordinary success on the art market and brought him international commissions. He was influenced by the style of Gaetano Chierici, and by the Florentine Macchiaioli School. His intense work as a photographer was for the most part geared to his painting and took place mainly in his studio with the aid of models in peasant costume or the dress of the common people. After taking these photographs the artist used them to create a joyous and idyllic image of Italian rural life, devoid of any hint of social criticism, which was so greatly appreciated by foreign tourists that this led him to produce a series of the same retardataire stereotypes right into the early decades of the 20th century. Zampighi died in Maranello, Modena in 1944. Bibliography: • La margherita, canvas at Cassa de Risparmio of Modena. • Retiarius now in Galleria Poletti in Modena. • Zampighi, dallo scatto al pennello, Exhibition in 2007, in Fotomuseo Panini. Condition Report Notes: Under Ultra-Violet light, there appears to be some very minor in-paint touch-ups to the top upper right of the canvas (fireplace). One of the pattern lines of the woman's dress appears to have a water later stain.
