Attr. to Pietro Fabris (active in Naples, 1756 - 1792) Convivial scene Oil on canvas, 63 X 75 cm The canvas in question depicts a joyful banquet scene with characters dressed in traditional clothes typical of southern Italy, similar to Pietro Fabris. Much biographical information is lacking on this painter who was active in Naples between 1756 and 1792. It is assumed that he was of English origin, since he himself in many paintings is signed, next to his name, "English painter". Also appreciated in England, Fabris in 1768 exhibited in London at the Free Society and in 1772 at the Society of Artist. His vast known artistic production must therefore be included between the date of 1756, affixed to a Neapolitan scene (London, Trafalgar Galleries: see Spinosa, 1987, p. 162), and that of 1792, execution of the Pilgrimage to the sanctuary of the Madonna dell 'Arco (antiques market, formerly Matthiesen, London, published in Spinosa, 1987, fig. 410). This production includes numerous oils on canvas, gouaches and drawings, inspired by Neapolitan views and landscapes and popular scenes, festivals and costumes of southern Italy. In the initial phase, references to Carlo Bonavia and Gabriele Ricciardelli are marked, later enriched by collusions with the scenographic landscape painting of Antonio Joli...
