Felice Giordano (1880-1964) - Maria

Prestigious oil painting depicting a female figure, signed in the lower left, with the inscription “Maria 24 - 10 - 1924” on the back,
measures 70.5 x 55.5 cm including the frame. Felice Giordano was born in Naples in 1880, where he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts. Antonino Leto, a painter associated with the tradition of the School of Resìna and the Macchiaioli movement, played a central role in his artistic development. From him, Giordano absorbed an appreciation for light, painterly texture, and the vivid depiction of landscape.
Over the course of his career, Giordano developed a style focused primarily on cityscapes and landscapes, with particular attention to Capri, Naples, Venice, and Paris. He took part in exhibitions organized by the Salvator Rosa Promoting Society of Naples and also achieved national recognition, including a solo exhibition at Geri Gallery in Milan. His works are held in important public collections, including the Gallery of Modern Art in Milan and the Municipality of Naples. He died in Capri in 1964. This female portrait is a particularly interesting and less common subject in Felice Giordano’s work, as the artist is known above all for his cityscapes, landscapes, and seascapes. In this case, the painter turns to the human figure, portraying a young woman seated in a refined, intimate setting, probably a studio or a bourgeois interior.
