The Macchiaioli

Where?

. ..

The Places:

Florence Pisa Leghorn Castiglioncello

One of the most important artistic movements of the Italian nineteenth century was born in Florence and spread in different places in Tuscany under the name of“ Macchiaoli“. These artists began to paint Florence, Livorno and Castiglioncello landscapes in their canvas as well as the Tyrrhenian coasts from Castiglioncello to the coast of Lazio.


The Macchiaioli

When?

The Macchiaioli term was used for first time in 1862 on the”Gazzetta del popolo”.They have been part of the most important artistic Italian school of the 19th century. They usually met in Florence, precisely in Michelangelo’s cafe giving rise to a movement which aimed to a painting renewal giving up the Romantic historical –mithologic representation(figuration).


The Macchiaioli

How? Among the components of this cultural movement there is the concern of fixing the image in colour’s spots, putting the figure to be portrayed in relation with a real background: a white wall, the sky or other objects with natural and pure colours. Painting in the open air is another of their characteristics together with the reproduction of a reality which wants to point out the aspects of daily and authentic life, in opposition with academic painting.

Postmacchiaioli

Fauglia After the fervour of the reform of the Macchiaioli painters, between 1850 and 1870 began a change in what were previously the reasons and cultural references behind the great Tuscan renewal, finding here and there aspects of the international naturalism Parisian -style. Some of the artists of the Tuscan group disappeared prematurely, others moved to Paris and others, turned their own artistic course towards different personal ways. So the school desappeared, giving space to the heirs of that first system of painting. The term Postmacchiaioli contained a bit ,under the same title ,of all Tuscan painters active between 1880 and 1920, that while respecting certain principles of “Macchiaioli� were able to tend to a renewed visuality, full of perception open to the new century. Each of these artists has some differences, in particular as regards to their training: Francesco Gioli met and frequented in his villa in Fauglia, great masters such as Giovanni Fattori and Silvestro Lega.

Francesco Gioli

Fauglia

Passa il viatico, 1875

Francesco Gioli, (San Frediano a Settimo, June 29, 1846 - Florence February 4, 1922) was a painter belonging to the current Macchiaioli and friend of Giovanni Fattori and Silvestro Lega who were often guests of Francesco in his villa in Fauglia.

He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and started his career in 1868 with the painting: Carlo Alberto of Savoy, who drives the Spanish Ambassador out and he was awarded in Pistoia in 1869. Francis said of himself: "I devoted myself to art since I was very young, and I was about twenty when I made my first appearance with a historical picture that was praised and rewarded. This early success, rather than rejoice, produced in me a sense of despair, because I realized at once, that had been praised and rewarded an old art made by a young man. ' In 1875, Gioli went to Paris, where he had success with the famous painting “Passa il viatico” awarded at the International Exhibition of Paris in 1878, then in Rome in 1883 he exhibited “Passa la processione”and in London in 1885 with the painting “Ai campi di giugno”.
