Alberto Pasini (Busseto 1826–1899 Cavoretto) Market Day, signed, dated A. Pasini 1873, watercolour on cardboard, 54 x 32 cm, framed, (GG) Provenance: Private collection, Italy While the architecture cannot be identified as belonging to a specific setting, the form of the building seems likely to indicate the entrance of a mosque. The artist was indeed fascinated with architecture and often incorporated architectural elements such as a mosque, a door or an archway in his work. These depictions of mosques, desert encampments and market scenes proved immensely popular with collectors. He painted a great number of Constantinople market scenes, often with a minaret in the background which was a recurring motif for the artist. He travelled to Persia as well as Turkey, Egypt and Syria. In 1873, when the present lot was painted, the artist resided in Bursa, a city in northwestern Turkey renowned for its beautiful mosques and ceramic tiles which were so important to him. Pasini was fascinated with the light and colour of the East, as demonstrated in the bright blue sky of the present lot. In the foreground he has depicted a group of Circassian soldiers dressed in brown hues next to a group in colourful dress. The artist captured the everyday life and culture of the East.

Alberto Pasini (Busseto 1826–1899 Cavoretto) Caravan in the Desert, signed and dated A. Pasini 1867, 38 x 64 cm, framed with narrow bars, (W) Compare: Vittoria Botteri Cardoso, Pasini, Genoa, Sagep Editore, 1991, p. 273, no. 336. Alberto Pasini studied at the Accademia di Parma where he initially trained as an engraver and lithographer. Once his studies were completed he left Turin for Paris. In 1855 he took part in a diplomatic embassy to Persia, his travels taking him to Egypt, the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf. Impressed by these foreign countries, their architecture and people, he produced numerous paintings with oriental scenes. His romantic view of the orient is expressed in the lively colouring of his miniature format representations.

Alberto Pasini (Italian, 1826-1899) Persians skirmishing in the desert signed and dated 'A Pasini 1859' (lower right) oil on canvas 18½ x 32 in. (47 x 81.3 cm.) with Galeria Josi, Rome. Acquired from the above by the father of the present owner, circa 1974. THE PROPERTY OF AN ITALIAN PRIVATE COLLECTOR E. Piceni (ed.), Catalogo Bolaffi della pittura italiana dell'Ottocento, Turin, 1974, p. 310, no. 5. V.B. Cardoso, Pasini, Genoa, 1991, p. 275, no. 348 (illustrated, with wrong dimensions). This painting was inspired by Pasini's first trip to Persia in 1855-56, accompanying a French diplomatic mission led by Prosper-Bourré designed to keep Tehran's rulers beyond the reach of Russian influence during the Crimean War. Pasini recorded his trip in numerous sketchbooks which provided material for his later compositions in oil, executed on his return to Europe. These contain many drawings of the Persian desert plains, surrounded by mountains, and of Persian horsemen similar to the ones depicted in this composition. Pasini describes a scene in which the animated foreground is powerfully juxtaposed against a background characterized by stillness and emptiness, the smoke of the distant campfires rising vertically into the vast desert sky. Stylistically, it shows the artist working towards a technique that would be defined by his ability to render the clear light of the Orient, and a bright palette which combined both naturalism and an innate sense of the picturesque. However, his paintwork still shows the influence of the French landscapists, with whom he had painted and studied only five years before, who painted with a heavier touch than the almost transparently thin, luminous brushstrokes that characterise Pasini's later Turkish scenes.

His studies were followed by longer sojourns in Persia and the Orient which were to have a significant influence on his choice of motif. He is regarded as one of the most well-known Italian oriental painters of his time. Pasini had a good understanding of how to apply the effects of light and shadow as well as the correct colouring in his scenes.
