Guilio Rosati
“The Musicians”

Circa 1890

About the Item

Original watercolor and gouache on archival paper of female musicians by the well known Italian artist, Giulio Rosati. Signed lower. Circa 1890. Condition is excellent. Original oak wood with incised design frame. Overall framed measurements are 28.5 by 22 inches. Provenance: A Brooklyn, New York collector. Giulio Rosati was born in Rome in 1861 into a family of bankers and militarists. He did not follow his familys career and instead studied art at the Accademia di San Luca under Dario Querci and Francesco Podesti. He also studied with Luis Álvarez y Catalá (1836-1901), director of the Prado Museum, Madrid. He worked mainly in watercolor, and occasionally in oil, and focussed most of his entire painting career on Orientalist art. He devoted himself to themes of the Maghreb and his works emphasised the nobility of Muslim culture. His painting, Oriental Scene was exhibited at the Exposition di Belle Arte, in Rome in 1900. He was part of a large group of painters, who at the time were depicting similar Middle Eastern subject matter. He became one of the most prolific Orientalist painters of the 19th century. Unlike other Orientalists, he never journeyed to the Middle East. He rarely participated in exhibitions, preferring to sell his works directly through art dealers. His son, Alberto Rosati (1893–1971), was also an Orientalist painter. However, his son was far less productive than his father.
