DiaporamaPortrait of Domenico Galati of Riella
1879
5.0 x 50.0 cm
Federico Zandomeneghi (1841 – 1917)
Federico Zandomeneghi (1841-1917) was an Italian Impressionist painter known for intimate scenes of women, Parisian life & landscapes. Influenced by Renoir & Cassatt, he bridged the gap between the Macchiaioli and French Impressionism.
A poet, literature scholar, journalist and playwright in Palermo, Domenica Galati di Riella was portrayed at his departure to Japan. The work has been masterfully executed and, as revealed by its recent cleaning, it displays cold colours, brisk and thick brushwork, and a careful use of light, which is evident in the nuances of the face, reflections of hair, moustache, and eyebrows thus enhancing its introspective rendering. The attribution of the painting to Federico Zandomeneghi has stirred a lively debate among scholars.
