Nude Woman Oil on Board (Signed Pugliese)
Oil painting on panel signed C. Pugliesi / Pugliese Levi
Italian painter active in Vercelli, Turn, and Milan Italy (Clemente Pugliese Levi 1855-1936) - ATTRIBUTED TO HIM OR SOMEONE IN HIS CIRCLE / IN THIS STYLE OF
Signature matches known forms of his signature - loose, red/orange pigment, long swooping "P" and descending i/e
Age-consistent oxigation and surface craquelure
Frame is late 19th c Italian Baroque Revival
Biography pasted to back is pulled from an Italian art-dictionary or exhibition catalogue printed between 1925-35; extremely common with Italian collectors and dealers in the 1930s
Clemente Pugliese Levi is not known mainly as a figure painter, but rather a landscape artist but he did occasionally produce symbolist female students, interior, and nudes
My piece fits within his 1885-1895 gray tonalist period
Subject is a nude woman emerging from draped fabric in dim, atmospheric interior; circular "halo" behind her; soft, smoky tonal modeling; red hair (popular with Sumbolist ITalian painters in the 1880-1900 era)
Likely a Symbolist allegory of Awakening, Dawn, or Vanity
Unfinished circular form at right was probably meant as a mirror, light source, or early underpainting left intentionally atmospheric
Pugliese often painted on unvarnished panels (very matte); this was to preserve the soft, dusty, atmospheric effect of Symbolism
