FRANCESCO PAOLO MICHETTI (ITALIAN 1851 - 1929), THE PIPE PLAYER pastel on paper, signed 35.50cm x 26.00cm Mounted, framed and under glass Provenance: Acquired Shapes Auctions (Edinburgh) 31st March 2007 lot 596 for £6300 (hammer) Note: Michetti was born in Tocco da Casauria in the Province of Chieti. His father having died when he was a boy, Michetti was forced to work with a local artisan. In 1868, Michetti was awarded a stipend by the province to study at the Accademia (now Istituto) in Naples under Domenico Morelli. Among his colleagues was Eduardo Dalbono. There he also interacted with Filippo Palizzi, Giuseppe De Nittis, and Marco De Gregorio, artists of the School of Resina. Disciplinary problems soon caused Michetti to return to Chieti. He began to spend time in Francavilla a Mare, which by 1878 would be his home. He traveled to Paris, encouraged and supported by De Nittis, by the patron Beniamino Rotondo, and by the art merchant Reutlinger. In Paris, he exhibited in the Salon of 1872: Ritorno dall'erbaggio, Dream of Innocence, and The Pumpkin Harvest. He also exhibited at Salons in 1875 and 1876. In 1874, he befriended the Spanish painter Mariano Fortuny in Naples. In 1877, with his Corpus Christi Procession, a highly colourful, efervescent depiction of a festival, he became recognized as one of the best in the schools exhibition. The next year in Paris, he exhibited Springtime and Love, a depiction of families enjoying a hilltop above a village with a broad view of the sea and sky. At the 1880 National Exposition in Turin, Michetti exhibited Palm Sunday, the Pescatrici di londine, and i Morticelli. At the 1881 Exhibition of Milan, he was a prolific exhibitor with 34 paintings, mostly studies of faces, full of sentiment, and seascapes, full of windblown sails. Later in life, he was awarded recognition. In 1896 he was named a member of the Accademia Pontaniana of Naples; in 1903, he was admitted in to the Roman Academy of St Luke; and in 1911 was named Honorary President of the Regional Committee for the Esposizione Pescarese. In 1913 he was named to the Commissione Ordinatrice della Galleria Nazionale D'arte Moderna of Rome. In June 1909, he was nominated to be an Italian Senator. He had three children, Elvira Michetti, Giorgio Michetti and Liberato. His son, Giorgio Michetti, was a World War I flying ace. Michetti è nato a Tocco da Casauria, in provincia di Chieti. Suo padre morì quando era un ragazzo, Michetti fu costretto a lavorare con un artigiano locale. Nel 1868, Michetti ottenne uno stipendio dalla provincia per studiare all'Accademia (ora Istituto) a Napoli sotto Domenico Morelli. Tra i suoi colleghi c'era Eduardo Dalbono. Qui ha anche interagito con Filippo Palizzi, Giuseppe De Nittis e Marco De Gregorio, artisti della Scuola di Resina. Presto i problemi disciplinari portarono Michetti a rientrare a Chieti. Iniziò a passare il tempo a Francavilla a Mare, che nel 1878 sarebbe stata la sua casa. Viaggiò a Parigi, incoraggiato e sostenuto da De Nittis, dal mecenate Beniamino Rotondo e dal mercante d'arte Reutlinger. A Parigi, espone nel Salon del 1872: Ritorno dall'erbaggio, Sogno di innocenza, e The Pumpkin Harvest. Espone anche a Salons nel 1875 e nel 1876. Nel 1874, fa amicizia con il pittore spagnolo Mariano Fortuny a Napoli. Nel 1877, con la sua Processione del Corpus Domini, una rappresentazione molto colorata e effervescente di un festival, divenne riconosciuto come uno dei migliori nella mostra delle scuole. L'anno successivo a Parigi, ha esposto Springtime and Love, una rappresentazione di famiglie che si godono una collina sopra un villaggio con un'ampia vista sul mare e sul cielo. Alla Esposizione Nazionale del 1880 a Torino, Michetti espose la Domenica delle Palme, le Pescatrici di Londra e I Morticelli. Alla Mostra di Milano del 1881, fu un prolifico espositore con 34 dipinti, per lo più studi di volti, pieni di sentimenti e paesaggi marini, pieni di vele mosse dal vento. Più tardi nella vita, è stato premiato. Nel 1896 fu nominato membro dell'Accademia Pontaniana di Napoli; nel 1903 fu ammesso all'Accademia romana di San Luca; e nel 1911 fu nominato Presidente Onorario del Comitato Regionale per l'Esposizione Pescarese. Nel 1913 fu nominato dalla Commissione Ordinatrice della Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna di Roma. Nel giugno del 1909 fu nominato senatore italiano.
