The Suburb of Porta Adriana, Ravenna
by SIGNORINI, Telemaco, Oil on canvas, 66 x 100 cm
Of the Macchiaioli, only Signorini consistently painted scenes of contemporary urban life. In the present work, both Signorini’s choice of subject and his bright, fresh technique constituted an affinity with Impressionist paintings of a similar kind. Of all the Macchiaioli, Signorini was the most open to Impressionism.
