Filiberto Petiti (1845–1924) - Otto schizzi originali – Provenienza

Filiberto Petiti Turin, 1845 – Rome, 1924 Eight sketches of different subjects, circa 1880–1920. Collection composed of eight original studies executed in pencil, graphite and ink on paper, presented together in a single frame. The sheets depict different subjects: wooded landscapes and architectural views, a boat, male figures, a knight seen from behind, a cat, and a study of costume. Some of the sketches bear the artist’s signature. The dimensions vary from about 5.5 × 3 cm for the smallest sheet, to about 10 × 10 cm for the largest. The set documents Filiberto Petiti’s working method and his attention to direct observation of landscape, figures, and animals. The immediate, non-academic character of the sheets returns to their original function as notes, studies, and visual annotations created by the artist. Filiberto Petiti was an Italian painter and draftsman active in Turin, Florence, and Rome. His production is mainly linked to landscape painting and to the Italian artistic milieu of the second half of the nineteenth century. Provenance: Heirs of Petiti.
