Attilio Pratella

[2] He also executed ceramic decorations for the Cesare Cacciapuoti workshop,[1] creating imitations of Capodimonte porcelain, collaborating with antiques dealer Charles Varelli.

Pratella died in 1949, at his home on Piazetta Aniello Falcone, near Villa Floridiana in the Vomero neighborhood of Naples.

Pratella's work is highlighted by his very small, quickly rendered Neapolitan views, noted for their use of very fine grays and greens alternating with sudden warm tones, and strong whites.

[4] Favorite subjects were Naples' markets and waterfront, along with the neighboring hills of Vomero, the island of Capri and the coast of Sorrento.

Notable titles include: Impression; Landscape: Twilight, Green; A corner of Posillipo; Strada del Vomero; In Campagna; and Valle di Camaldoli.
