(2) Filippo Palizzi
(b Vasto, 16 June 1818; d Naples, 11 Sept 1899). Brother of (1) Giuseppe Palizzi. He studied from 1837 at the Reale Istituto di Belle Arti in Naples, where Morelli was among his fellow students. By this time Palizzi had adopted Realism both as a style and as a conviction. Less adapted to Smargiassi’s academic style of teaching, he soon moved to the free school led by Giuseppe Bonolis, where plein-air painting was taught in relation to aesthetic principles (similar to those advanced by the literary historian and critic Francesco de Sanctis) and to the study of perspective. Palizzi’s experiments in Realism were probably influenced less by the example of Bonolis, who still adhered to Neo-classical conventions, than by de Sanctis’s principle that artistic form should depend on content. Such principles gave Palizzi’s work a degree of ethical rigour.
