Previati, Gaetano

Gaetano Previati (Ferrara, 31 August 1852 - Lavagna, 21 June 1920) was an Italian painter and a leading figure of Divisionism and Symbolism. After academic training, he developed a highly personal style based on filament-like brushwork, spiritualized light, and visionary subjects. His work ranges from social themes to sacred and literary compositions, always marked by emotional intensity and a modern symbolic imagination.
