Marc-Joachim Wasmer - The Museo Vincenzo Vela in Ligornetto

Spartaco Vela, Rizpah Watching Over the Bodies of her Sons , 1881, oil on canvas.

His paintings with biblical or historical content clearly show the influence of Bertini and Pagliano while also referencing themes found in Vincenzo Vela’s work. One such painting is the large Rispa (2 Samuel, 21, 8–14; XX), which Spartaco exhibited in Milan in 1881 and at the first Swiss National Exposition in Zurich in 1883, along with his father’s relief The Victims of Labour ( VII). His genre scenes and landscapes painted en plein air are associated with Lombard ‘Impressionism’ – an Italian version of the French artistic movement – especially as seen in the work of Eugenio Gignous (1850–1906). Although the eroticized themes with female figures appear rather inopportune today, they corresponded to the taste of the upper middle class of the time. He also produced lively portraits and nudes in the style of the group of artists known as ‘Scapigliatura’ , using his mistresses as models.
