SUNDAY Feature on ART of Architecture -by Gautam Shah
Attilio Pratella (1856-1949) was an Italian painter of landscapes and realistic scenes of urban life. He studied art at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna, and also at Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli.
Pratella's work consists of many small, quickly rendered views of Naples. He used vibrant colours, alternating with sudden warm tones, and strong whites. His favourite subjects were markets, street corner hawkers, water-fronts with architectural back drops, and rain soaked streets. Pratella preferred oil paints, but for studies, sketches and portraits he used crayon pastels.
