1870년대 파리가 문화의 큰 변화를 맞고 있을 때, 그 중심에 있었던 이탈리아의 화가가 있었습니다. 르네상스와 바로크 문화를 이끌었던 이탈리아이지만 변화하는 세상을 알기 위해 파리로 왔죠.

 

'주세페 드 니티스'. 이탈리아에서 개혁을 꿈꾸다 실패하고 파리에 온 그는, 경제적으로 호황을 누리고 있는 도시의 풍경을 사실적으로 묘사했습니다. 랜드마크가 되는 도시의 건물보다는 빈 공간을 화면 가운데에다 크게 배치한 독특한 구도는 그의 작품 특징입니다.

 

드가, 마네, 르누아르 등과 친하게 지내며 인상주의 화법에 매료되었답니다. 이후, 런던을 여행하면서 웨스트민스터 궁전 등을 인상주의 풍으로 그렸습니다.

Giuseppe De Nittis (February 25, 1846 – August 21, 1884) was one of the most important Italian painters of the 19th century, whose work merges the styles of Salon art and Impressionism.

 

De Nittis was born in Barletta, in the region of Apulia, where he first studied under Giovanni Battista Calò. After being expelled in 1863 from the Instituto di Belle Arti in Naples for insubordination, he launched his career with the exhibition of two paintings at the 1864 Neapolitan Promotrice. De Nittis came into contact with some of the artists known as the Macchiaioli, becoming friends with Telemaco Signorini, and exhibiting in Florence.

 

In 1867 he moved to Paris and entered into a contract with the art dealer Adolphe Goupil which called for him to produce saleable genre works. After gaining some visibility by exhibiting at the Salon he returned to Italy where, now free to paint from nature, he produced several views of Vesuvius.

 

In 1872 De Nittis returned to Paris and, no longer under contract to Goupil, achieved a success at the Salon with his painting Che freddo! (Freezing!) of 1874 (Private collection). In that same year he was invited to exhibit at the first Impressionist exhibition, held at Nadar's. The invitation came from Edgar Degas, who was a friend of several Italian artists residing in Paris, including Telemaco Signorini, Giovanni Boldini and Federico Zandomeneghi. De Nittis was not accepted by all of the Impressionists, and did not participate in their subsequent exhibitions.

 

A trip to London resulted in a number of Impressionistic paintings. In 1875 De Nittis took up pastels, which became an important medium for him in his remaining years and which he helped popularize. Back in Paris, where his home was a favorite gathering place for Parisian writers and artists, as well as expatriate Italians, he executed pastel portraits of sitters including De Goncourt, Zola, Manet and Duranty. He preferred pastels as the medium for his largest works, such as the triptych entitled Races at Auteuil (1881).

 

De Nittis exhibited twelve paintings in the Exposition Universelle of 1878, and was awarded a gold medal. In that same year he received the Légion d’honneur.

 

In 1884, at the age of 38, De Nittis died suddenly of a stroke at Saint-Germain-en-Laye. His wife, the Parisian Léontine Lucile Gruvelle (married in 1869) donated his paintings to the town of Barletta and are now gathered in the Pinacoteca De Nittis in the Palace of the Marra in the hometown of the painter.

 

Works by De Nittis are in many public collections, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, British Museum in London, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. His paintings Return from the Races and The Connoisseurs are in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
