Return From Fishing, 1919
Artist: Vettore Zanetti Zilla
oil on canvas
89 x 131 cm
initialled at lower left "VZZ"
on the back cartouche with author's name
After training at the Accademia di Venezia, where he learnt the rules of Vedutism, Vettore Zanetti Zilla followed the models of Giacomo Favretto and Guglielmo Ciardi. In 1898, he undertook a series of trips throughout Europe that allowed him to substantially update himself on the most innovative pictorial trends. Hence the new production with a decisive secessionist imprint that, exhibited in the most representative international venues starting with the Venice Biennale, allowed him to achieve notoriety.
Paradigmatic of his painting is both the technique - a tempera grassa varnished with oil that was also experimented by Pietro Fragiacomo, Cesare Laurenti and Mario De Maria - and the two-dimensionality of the depiction that is reminiscent of the refined joints of a mosaic.
