Arnaldo Ferraguti (1862-1925)

Arnaldo Ferraguti è stato un pittore Italiano Verista, celebre in vita anche per le numerose incisioni con le quali illustrò i libri dell'editore Treves.

Studiò all'Accademia di Belle Arti a Napoli, ma si formò pittoricamente anche grazie alla frequentazione del pittore verista Francesco Paolo Michetti, dal quale apprese anche l'utilizzo della fotografia come strumento per la "cattura" delle immagini.

Divenne celebre nel 1891 con l'enorme dipinto Alla vanga, oggi conservato al Museo del Paesaggio di Verbania-Pallanza, nella quale ritrasse un gruppo di braccianti intenti al lavoro sotto lo sguardo del sorvegliante.

Camille Corot (1796-1875) | Paysages / Quotes

• "Set up your study or picture in an orderly fashion. This order should not cramp either the linearist or the colorist... Never lose sight of that first impression by which you were moved. I work on all parts of my painting at once, improving it very gently until I find that the effect is complete".

Camille Corot (1796-1875) | Landscapes and Quotes

• "Be guided by feelings alone. Abandon yourself to your first impression. If you really have been touched, you will convey to others the sincerity of your emotion".
• "Lasciati guidare dai sentimenti da solo. Abbandonati alla tua prima impressione. Se sei stato davvero toccato, trasmetterai agli altri la sincerità della tua emozione".
