Giuseppe Viviani - Hunter with Hound

The painting can be defined as a genre scene, that is, the depiction of an aspect of daily life that, apparently, has no significant element. These types of domestic subjects were long considered minor and only began to spread in Western art starting in the 17th century. Only with the development of 19th-century realism did everyday subjects become considered as important as historical or religious ones. A very common theme in genre scenes is the hunt, as in the work by Giuseppe Viviani.

Giuseppe Viviani uses a brushstroke that defines his subjects in a very crude yet vibrant and profoundly expressive manner. It's a style of representation that harks back to post-Impressionist art. Indeed, in this particular work, Viviani seems to consciously reference the Macchiaioli, drawing on the sense of solitude so typical of the Tuscan group. A certain difference, however, can be noted in his color choices. Viviani's palette appears more expressionist, composed of vivid colors that distance themselves from the earthy tones of the Macchiaioli.
