Giovanni Segantini
He was an Italian painter, one of the greatest exponents of Divisionism, he was born into a poor family in Arco which was under Austrian domination at the time.
At the age of 7 years old, since the mother was dead, he was entrusted to his half-sister in Milan. Without a real family, he lived a vagabond life that will lead him to be arrested and locked up in a reformatory in 1870, where he remained for three years. He was later entrusted to his half-brother, Napoleone, he worked for him as a shop boy in his shop in Borgo Valsugana (Tn); he always loved painting and it was artistically talented, he came back to Milan in 1874 where he attended the evening courses at the Academy of Fine arts Of Brera for three years. Thanks to the income from his work in an a workshop and from teaching drawing, he then succeeded in attending regular courses in Brera for two years, making friends with local artists including the painter Emilio Longoni and the writer Carlo Morenzi; he exhibited in Brera and, noticed by critics, he obtained his first recognitions.
Among his early works, influenced by Lombard realism, stand out the Milano views Il Naviglio a Ponte San Marco and Il Coro della Chiesa di Sant’Antonio. He moved to Brianza in 1881 in order to work with the support of Vittore Grubicy who had met years earlier in Milan; collaborated with Longoni and developed original and very personal expressive forms. The works of this period are of peasant inspiration and Brianza views; the first masterpieces were born, such as La Raccolta dei Bozzoli (1882), Zampognari in Brianza (1883) A Messa Prima (1885). He received the first International prize winning the gold medal in Amsterdam for Ave Maria a Trasbordo and Anversa per La Tosatura delle Pecore; the definitive success of this Naturalist period came with the composition Alla Stanga (1885), that is displayed today at National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome.
In 1894 the painter moved from Savognin to Maloja near St. Moritz, in the Upper Engadine, in search of a solitary and mystical life. Here, inspired by the majestic Alpine landscape, he conceived the ambitious project for a triptych for the Engadine pavilion at the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1900; the work realization was too expensive and he did not receive economic support from the valley’s hotelier, this was why ,the work, resized, became the famous Trittico della Natura, exhibited in the Italian pavilion. At the age of 41, in 1899, the painter died of a sudden attack of peritonitis, while he was painting on the Schafberg mountain, near Pontresina.
