Giuseppe de Nittis (Italian, 1846-1884)Westminster Bridge indistinctly signed 'De Nittis' (lower right); stamped with the Atelier stamp (twice, on the reverse)oil on panel19 x 25cm (7 1/2 x 9 13/16in).Footnotes:ProvenanceA. Sommaruga, Paris.Private collection, Milan.Anon. sale, Finarte, Milan, 26 March 1996, lot 124.Private collection, Italy.ExhibitedNaples, Società Promotrice Salvator Rosa, Mostra di Giuseppe De Nittis e dei Pittori della Scuola di Resina, 1963, no. 83. LiteratureMary Pittaluga & Enrico Piceni, De Nittis, Milan, 1963, cat. no. 461, illustrated.Enrico Piceni, De Nittis. L'uomo e l'opera , Busto Arsizio, 1979, no. 55.Piero Dini and Giuseppe Luigi Marini, De Nittis, Turin, 1990, vol. I, p. 405, no. 712, as Westminster Bridge, illustrated.Giuseppe de Nittis made several trips to London between the early 1870s and 1881, which resulted in some of his most celebrated works. A founding member of The Macchiaioli, the artist had moved to Paris in 1867, and the following year began to work for the dealer Adolphe Goupil, producing costume pictures which the dealer could place easily. After a brief return to Italy in 1872, de Nittis travelled back to Paris and became part of an artistic and literary circle that included Emile Zola and Édouard Manet; but it was Edgar Degas who invited him to participate in the Impressionist Exhibition at the Nadar Gallery in 1874. The following year, de Nittis broke his contract with Goupil and journeyed back to London. The foggy bustle of the metropolis perfectly suited his personal form of Impressionism; often painting en plein air, he painted several views of Westminster Bridge (which were greatly admired by Vincent van Gogh) and other London landmarks, such as The Serpentine and Trafalgar Square.In the present lot, Westminster Bridge is depicted on a busy day with The Houses of Parliament outlined in the distance. Typical of many of the works by de Nittis the foreground is left empty, which emphasises the bustle of the figures and carriages as they head to and from the city. This movement is further suggested by the strong linear brushstrokes which show the tracks of the horse drawn carriages and draws the viewer in to the centre of the composition, highlighted by a small dot of red paint. Although small, this exquisite panel articulates so much about the artist, who sadly died at the age of only 38. It conveys his brilliant ability to capture and record a scene sympathetically but with great bravura. Although clearly an 'Impressionist' de Nittis stands out as an artist with a very personal and unique style.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
