About the Item

Pietro Della Valle (Livorno, 1819 - Florence, 1880) Landscape with shepherdesses and fisherman, 1846 Oil on canvas, 34 x 50 cm Framed, 64 x 69 cm Pietro Della Valle (Leghorn 1819 - Florence 1880) was a painter, decorator, landscape painter and master painter. Brother of the architect Angiolo and the painter Giuseppe, he comes from a well-known family of Leghorn artists: the Della Valle family was known, at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, not only in Italy but also internationally for their extraordinary artistic qualities, as evidenced by the various commissions the family members received from the rulers of Russia, Denmark and Prussia. Pietro della Valle is known not only for his pictorial works but also for his elegant compositions in scagliola, which were particularly appreciated by Grand Tour travelers. Among the most successful objects in terms of Della Valle's scagliola production is certainly the table with stories from Columbus' public life, exhibited in Florence in 1860. In terms of pictorial production, the artist prefers landscape scenes, often animated by the presence of figures at work. The characters in the Leghorn artist's works move through the beautiful landscapes of the Tuscan countryside, illuminated by a warm and reassuring light. Among the painter's most famous works are Il naufragio di un brigantino sulle coste della Spezia, which was a great success with the public and critics at the 1844 Florence Exposition, the large Marina presented at the 1876 New York Exposition, and La Fortezza di Montepulciano, a painting of felicitous naturalistic taste and luministic sensitivity, dated 1866 and preserved in the Modern Art Room of the city's Palazzo Comunale. A beautiful view of the Tuscan countryside is depicted in the painting in question. In this valley furrowed by a placidly flowing river, two young women and a little girl in traditional dress relax in the shade of trees surrounded by a few heads of their flock. Meanwhile, a fisherman hoists, with great effort, his net. The warm, vivid daylight radiates the scene, making it especially lively. In tone and pictorial technique, Della Valle's work channels itself in the tradition of the Florentine landscape painters of the first half of the 19th century, foremost among them Giovanni Signorini.
