About the Item

Guglielmo Napoli (Pavia, 1868 - Genoa, 1945) The betrothed Oil on panel, 46.6 x 68 cm Frame 73 x 81 cm Signed lower left "Gugl . mo Napoli Dipinse" The work in question takes up a gallant scene set in a garden with a neoclassical taste. The wooded landscape characterizes the scene, with the green tones of the shrubs, and envelops the figures, intent on taking a walk in the park of the villa that can be glimpsed in the distance. The noblewomen are dressed in day dresses, in pastel, light and fluttering colors that are well suited to the bucolic context of the landscape; a man, on the other hand, accompanies the young women to discover the secrets of the wood, perhaps the old father or a page. The joyful gang is taken up by the painter in a moment of daily leisure, giving a testimony of the high bourgeois life of the girls of the time, marked by outdoor activities, games, walks, chat with friends. Guglielmo Napoli was a painter trained at the Pavia School of Art. In 1891 he participated in the Exhibition of the Promoter of Genoa with the painting "Study from life". From the last years of the nineteenth century he settled in Genoa where he studied. In 1892 he participated in the Exposition for the Colombian Celebrations. His participation in the Promotional Exhibition of Fine Arts in Genoa in 1900 with the painting "Surroundings of Novi Ligure" and in the Social Exhibition of Fine Arts of 1918 with the painting "Portrait" is documented. Among his best-known works, the portraits of “Richard Wagner” and “Giuseppe Verdi” currently preserved in the Pinacoteca Civica of Imperia are worthy of mention - coming from the Rebaudi legacy.
