Giuseppe de Nittis

Japanese: デ･ニッティス（英語表記）Giuseppe de Nittis

1846‐84
Italian painter active in France. Born in Barletta, a town on the Adriatic coast in southern Italy, he attended art school in Naples. He had a strong interest in realism and joined a group known as the Resina School, conducting research into light outdoors. He met the Macchiaioli theorist Cecchioni, who had come to Naples, and travelled to Florence in 1866, where he developed ties with the group, but the following year he moved to Paris in search of further growth. There he came into contact with Manet and the Impressionists, and was deeply influenced by their themes of modern life. He exhibited at the first Impressionist exhibition (1874), but, due to his attachment to the Salon (official exhibition), he did not participate in any subsequent exhibitions.

フランスで活躍したイタリア人画家。南イタリアのアドリア海岸の町バルレッタBarlettaに生まれ，ナポリで美術学校にはいる。写実主義の傾向に深い関心を寄せ，〈レジナResina派〉と呼ばれるグループに参加して，戸外で光の研究を行う。ナポリにやって来たマッキア派の理論家チェチオーニと知りあって1866年にフィレンツェに赴き，このグループと交流を深めるが，さらに飛躍を求めて翌年パリに出る。この地でマネや印象派と交わり，その近代生活の主題に深い影響を受け，第1回の印象派展(1874)に出品するが，サロン(官展)に対する執着もあってその後は参加していない。
