A Capri Girl Oil on panel, 44.4 x 31.1 cm, by Adriano Bonifazi, 1879 Location unknown |
||||||||||
| Ragazza caprese demonstrates Bonifazi's characteristic style, depicting a young girl from Capri in traditional dress. She is presented in a simple yet deliberate pose, her clothing carefully rendered to highlight the textures and details distinctive to the island. Bonifazi was known for capturing the nuances of fabric, embroidery, and accessories. A painter known for his romanticised portrayals of young individuals in rustic settings, he painted subjects from various Italian cities. However, Capri remained a focal point in his artistic output, its sunlit landscapes and vibrant rural life shaping his depictions of everyday people. |
