EDUARDO GALLI (Naples 1854 - 1920) TRIUMPH OF THE BADGER Oil on canvas, 35 x 63 cm. Unsigned Gilt frame A pupil of Antonio Morelli, whose stylistic influence leaks out on this beautiful work we present, Gatti participated in all the important national exhibitions. According to the fashion of the time, which after the unification of Italy celebrated the great poems of Italian literature and exalted the figures of poets from Dante to the greats of the Renaissance, this sketch could be considered an early elaboration of a work that has as its subject matter a chivalric poem, stories from the life of Torquato Tasso and scenes from Gerusalemme liberata, which often flowed into apotheosis in the decoration of vaults of salons
