Oil on the table. Signed and dated lower right. Born in the province of Lucca, Umberto Vittorini artistically trained at the art school of this city, then became a pupil of Edoardo Gordigiani and attended the studio of the divisionist painter Fausto Ciompi delle Notti, a meeting place for Pisan artists of the early twentieth century. He made his debut exhibiting a portrait in Florence in 1910, and later his career led him to propose himself in Italy and abroad, achieving great success. He painted portraits, naturalistic compositions, landscapes of the Tuscan countryside, but his production was characterized by a predilection for the views of Pisa: in particular, in fact, he reproduced this city in its various aspects, in different hours and moments of the day, in its various sites. . He also tried his hand at drawing in black and white in engraving. His pictorial genre was initially considered to have a Neocèzannian matrix, with a personal vision of pointillist painting. Having obtained the chair of painting at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in 1930, he repositioned his style remaining influenced by Carrà's futurism and a certain influence of the Scapigliatura (Arturo Tosi). He was the protagonist several times at the Venice Biennale, at the Rome Quadriennale and at various editions of the Milan Permanente. In reality, Vittorini always considered himself extraneous to any current, taken only by his art, his only reason for living. Vittorini died in Milan in 1979. The work offers a glimpse of a river in the countryside populated by boats and boatmen. In frame.
