1880’s

About the Item

Maria Martinetti was born in 1864 in Italy. Martinetti attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, studying under the Orientalist painter Gustavo Simoni. Martinetti exhibited works in Rome, Venice and Paris, where she was awarded a Gold Medal in 1889. Using her own imagination, influenced by the strong interest in Arab culture in Rome in the 1880s, as well as sketches by Simoni, photographs, engravings, and objects, she executed works of Moroccan guards, merchants, harem interiors and Bedouins. Maria Martinetti emigrated to America in 1890. Here we have an incredible Watercolor by the artist.
