Ettore Forti

Ettore Forti is an Italian painter who produced numerous paintings on ancient themes.

Ettore Forti worked in Rome and peaked in popularity in the 1890s and 1900s. Art historians classify the work of Forti to the so-called Neopompeian school, which was characterized by an aspiration to reproduce the image of Ancient Rome in their paintings as faithfully as possible (at the level of advanced historical knowledge of their time). For this purpose they actively used, in particular, data obtained by scientists during archaeological excavations in Herculaneum and Pompeii. Whereas other artists were mainly interested in scenes from ancient mythology or depictions of significant historical events, the Neo-Pompeians were characterised by an interest in genre painting and the reproduction of scenes from ancient everyday life.
