๐จ The blanket seller, c.1891 by Silvestro Lega ๐ฎ๐น oil on canvas, 143 ร 95 cm Private Collection About the artwork: Silvestro Lega was a key member of the Macchiaioli group, a movement that preceded the Impressionists in Italy and focused on capturing scenes of everyday life using patches of color ("macchie" in Italian). "The Blanket Seller" is a prime example of this style, showcasing Lega's ability to depict ordinary subjects with a sense of realism and immediacy. This painting portrays a vendor, presumably selling blankets, a subject that reflects the Macchiaioli interest in the lives of common people. The composition captures the seller in a natural setting, possibly in a market or a public space, interacting with potential buyers. Lega's use of color and light is noteworthy; he employs a palette that conveys the textures and materiality of the blankets and the ambient outdoor light.
