'Rural Campanian Scene', pastel and tempera on paper, by Giuseppe Casciaro (Ortelle, Lecce 1863-Naples 1945).
Description: Having arrived in Rome with the intention of studying medicine, Casciaro enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, where he was a pupil of Filippo Palizzi, Domenico Morelli and Giovacchino Toma.

In 1885, on visiting the Salvator Rosa Promotional Exhibition, he was so struck by certain Francesco Michetti pastel drawings that he decided to dedicate himself fully to this technique, which in that period – thanks, above all, to the success of De Nittis in Paris – was undergoing a critical re-evaluation.

Casciaro soon developed his understanding of pastel techniques, and came to appreciate the speed of execution, freshness and chromatic effects that could be achieved.
His pictures alternate between Realism and Romanticism, and he is linked to the Neapolitan pastoral tradition whose greatest exponents were Gigante and Pitloo.

He was appointed to the illustrious position of Queen Elena of Savoy’s ‘Maestro of Painting’ by King Victor Emanuel III.

In 1900, he exhibited his work at the Universal Exhibition in Paris and was awarded the bronze medal.
Remaining in Paris, he worked for Goupil, a merchant, and became acquainted with the Impressionists and the Barbizon School.

In 1902, he became a Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples.

The work features two stamps on the back: 'Giuseppe Casciaro Napoli...'.

The frame dates from the same period as the painting itself.

Provenance: 'Proposte 2001', no. XI, Galleria d'Arte Aversa, Turin, Italy.
