| Adriano Bonifazi (1858–1914) | ||||||||||
| Born in Rome, Bonifazi was active primarily in Rome and Naples, drawing inspiration from the landscapes, people, and daily life of Capri, Naples, Subiaco, and Sicily. He became known for his Romantic portraits, particularly of children, townspeople, and peasants, whom he depicted in rustic settings that evoked a sense of nostalgia and tradition. His paintings showed great attention to detail, especially in the faithful depiction of his subjects' vibrant costumes and distinctive dress, which reflected both their social status and regional origins. Bonifazi’s work went beyond simple portraiture; it captured the customs, traditions, and everyday lives of the communities he painted. He had a keen eye for the textures and intricate patterns of clothing, from embroidered shawls and elaborate headdresses to the rough-spun fabrics of working-class attire. These elements enriched his paintings while also preserving the visual identity of his subjects. Bonifazi's art reflected the emotions and daily rhythms of the people he painted, lending his work a sense of warmth and authenticity. | ||||||||||
