Attilio Pratella (* 1856 in Lugo (Emilia-Romagna) , † 1949 in Naples ) was an Italian painter .

Life

  • Pescatori sul molo, around 1900

In 1877 Pratella received a scholarship to study at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Bologna . For two years there was a student of the painter Antonio Puccinelli together with Mario De Maria , Alessandro Scorzoni , Augusto Sezanne and Rocco Lentini . In 1880 he won another scholarship that led him to the Accademia di Belle Arti di Napoli , where he studied with Domenico Morelli and Filippo Palizzi .

He established his own studio in Naples and was inspired for his work by the lively markets of the city, the quays with the surrounding hills of the Vomero district and the rocky island of Capri . His pictures often show sea and city views and have impressionistic approaches. Some of Pratella's works are in public collections in Naples, Milan and Rome.

From 1881 to the 1920s he exhibited in Naples, and he was also represented at the Biennale di Venezia and the Salon de Paris . Pratella's sons Fausto (1888–1964) and Paolo (1892–1980) and his daughter Ada (1901–1929) also became painters.
