Italy, France
Giuseppe de Nittis was an Italian painter associated with the Macchiaioli movement, which emerged at the end of the 19th century as a reaction to the traditional academic style of painting.
Giuseppe de Nittis first studied at the Neapolitan Academy of Fine Arts before moving to Paris in 1868, where he was influenced by the Impressionist movement and the work of Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas. He quickly gained recognition for his ability to skilfully convey light and atmosphere in his paintings.
De Nittes' style can be described as a mixture of realism and impressionism. He often depicted city scenes, landscapes and portraits. His work is characterised by a loose brushwork, vivid colours and a strong sense of observation.
