Methinks Fattori produced a large body of work in his lifetime. I knew a fellow artist gentleman 25 years ago in west FL. His first wife and son died in a car wreck. His second wife and second son died in a car wreck. When I knew him he was married to his 3rd wife and their son was in law school. Tragic things do happen, sad to say. i bet Fattori would have a lot to say about today’s politics and current art world.The bottom right side of this painting above looks to be rather close to an effort at Impressionism.
I wonder whether it was on purpose. And I agree with Maureen – the ruffles and fabric on her dress are very lovely. Relaxing after all his war paintings..
I love the colours!! People lived much more outdoors in times past. We could learn something from them. As Margaret mentioned above she should have found a spot in the yard to do her sewing. I am currently stitching a black binding on a black back. I have put a large sheet under my chair outside and taken the quilt outdoors. It’s much easier to see in natural light. Unfortunately I rarely make use of that opportunity….
Thanks again, btw, for always having a painting for us. It’s so much fun to check them out and to pay attention to the colours in them.
A beautiful piece of art work. Yesterday I was hand-stitching a binding. I should have found a spot in the shade near my garden where I could do my sewing…like the woman in the painting, minus the ruffled gown!
Such lovely work. Great definition of the ruffles on her skirt. Those look like grapevines in the distance … after all, it IS Italy.
Such a sad tale of a dissillusioned painter at the end of his life.

I wish I had written military paintings instead of war.

My favourite sewing pictures old masters I mean. Is Vermeer, the one that comes to mind is the Lacemaker. Thanks for sharing.

Do you ever make a pictorial art quilt of the sewing themed paintings? My first art quilt was after a pen and ink sketch. It was fun.
