Oil on Canvas Italian Street Market Scene by Giuseppe Pitto
About the Item
Giuseppe Pitto (Italian 1857 - 1928) is often known for his paintings depicting pretty women in Italian street markets. This exuberantly painted scene is done in the realist style. Realism emerged as a major art movement from 1840 to 1900. It was a rejection of romanticism and aimed at depicting the world as it truly exists without the influences of imagination, idealism, emotion, or style. The painting features a young woman in a bustling street market. There is a juxtaposition between her robust pale form in comparison to the workers and villagers behind her. The shadows on the right, create an illusion of depth and space, clearly highlighting her as the focus. To the left of her is a void space that creates the illusion of where the artist would have been. Pitto’s use of a warm color palette produces a sense of excitement as well as mimicking sunbeams. In the background, the buildings, villagers, and stands have all been painted with small brushstrokes, unblended color, and the impression of form, generating a sense of movement. Pitto's signature is on the bottom left. Overall, this painting embodies the realist style and liveliness of shopping in an Italian market. Create a different look with a modern frame or use the original fame it comes with.

There is not that much information about Otto Pilny who began his artistic education in Prague. Pilny also lived in Vienna and ended up settling in Zurich. Just like Ludwig Deutsch (1855-1935), Rudolf Ernst (1854-1932), and Carl Leopold Müller (1834-1892), Pilny was encouraged to travel abroad. During his two trips to Egypt, a favorite destination of the Austro-Hungarian school, the first one in 1889 and later en 1892, he acquired the taste of painting Orientalist scenes of Middle Eastern landscapes...
