{"product_id":"tito-pellicciotti-senza-titolo","title":"Tito Pellicciotti - Untitled","description":"\u003cp\u003e Animal portraits in art have ancient origins, even appearing in primitive cave paintings. For religious reasons, various types of animals appear in the works of various ancient civilizations. It was especially in the Middle Ages, within the International Gothic style, that animal depictions became widespread as true life portraits, both within works of art and in notebooks of drawings and sketches. The presence of animals as subjects in art remained constant until the contemporary era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eTito Pellicciotti belongs to an extraordinary 19th-century school of painting, including painters such as Francesco Paolo Michetti and the Palizzi brothers, which specialized in animal depictions. Tito Pellicciotti's genre scenes are distinguished by an extraordinary level of execution, achieving the highest levels of naturalism with meticulous attention to detail. This panel is a perfect example of Pellicciotti's pictorial quality. The painter succeeds in creating an image of perfect and complete naturalism. This is particularly evident in the group of animals, whose figures are extremely lively and rich in anatomical detail. This is true even though Tito Pellicciotti seems to favor a more synthetic, patchy approach in this work. As is typical of this school of painting, the light spreads throughout the scene, warm and enveloping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eTiziano Apelle Michelangelo Pellicciotti, known as Tito (Barisciano, 1871 – 1950). In the mid-1880s, he attended the School of Arts and Crafts in L'Aquila, directed by Teofilo Patini, while in 1890 he moved to Naples, enrolling in the city's Institute of Fine Arts and studying with Domenico Morelli and Filippo Palizzi. He then briefly frequented Francesco Paolo Michetti's circle in Francavilla al Mare, but soon returned to his native town, where he devoted himself to painting, commissioned by numerous artists. Between 1911 and 1912, he took part in the Italo-Turkish War in Libya, during which he learned an oriental-style painting style. Upon returning to Italy, he organized several exhibitions in L'Aquila, Naples, and Rome, and participated in various group shows abroad.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Muratori Luca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218497057154,"sku":"LMUR001","price":2300.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/PELLICCIOTTI.jpg?v=1768473752","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/tito-pellicciotti-senza-titolo","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
