Beautiful painting by the Abruzzese painter Tito Pellicciotti (Barisciano 1871-1950) depicting sheep with peasant women. Original work with antique gilded frame. Dimensions 32 cm x 20 cm, frame 51 cm x 38 cm. Tito Pellicciotti was born in Barisciano in 1871 to Carlo Pellicciotti, a local sculptor who encouraged his son's artistic training, and Maria Tomassetti. In the mid-1880s he attended the School of Arts and Crafts in L'Aquila, directed by Teofilo Patini, while in 1890 he moved to Naples, enrolling at the city's Institute of Fine Arts and studying with Domenico Morelli and Filippo Palizzi. He then attended Francesco Paolo Michetti's circle in Francavilla al Mare for a brief period, but immediately returned to his home town, where he devoted himself to painting on numerous commissions. Between 1911 and 1912, he participated in the Italo-Turkish war in Libya, during which he learned an oriental style of painting. On his return to Italy, he organised several exhibitions in L'Aquila, Naples and Rome and took part in various group exhibitions abroad. He died in his homeland in 1950.
