Giovanni Fattori

Sculptor, Painter or Photographer

Giovanni Fattori (1825–1908) was an Italian painter and a leading representative of the Macchiaioli movement.

Born in Livorno in 1825; associated with the Macchiaioli movement; died in 1908.

The provided review praises Giovanni Fattori's refusal of rigid theory and highlights his role as a leading Macchiaioli painter. It offers a close reading of Cavallo Morto, interpreting the work as a dramatic snapshot of suffering, solitude, and fate. The reviewer connects Fattori's spontaneity to a personal affinity with self-taught practice.

For:Art enthusiasts, students of 19th-century Italian painting, and readers interested in the Macchiaioli movement.

 If there's a reason that makes me sympathize with Giovanni Fattori, aside from a genuine appreciation for his works, it's that the painter from Livorno always refused to constrain his modus operandi within rigid theoretical schematics.
