About
Why this artist matters now
Giovanni Fattori was a leading figure in the Macchiaioli movement, an Italian painter who moved from historical and military subjects to plein-air landscape and rural scenes inspired by the Barbizon school. His work is characterized by direct observation and loose brushwork applied to the Tuscan countryside and scenes of soldiers in repose. From 1884 onward, he devoted significant energy to etching, producing a substantial body of prints that extended his tonal investigations into the medium.
