Pietro Fabris, an active artist in the late 18th century, captured various scenes of everyday life in Italy with his incredible talent. In his handball game painting, he skillfully portrays the intensity and excitement of the sport. Moving on to "Scenes of Everyday Life in a Cave in Posillipo, " we see men engrossed in a card game, showcasing Fabris' attention to detail and ability to capture human interactions. Fabris also had a knack for depicting dramatic moments like "The Possessive Neapolitan. " This embroidery on silk from one of his engravings showcases a fight scene that is both captivating and intricate. Another notable work by Fabris is "Minuet at Baia, " where he transports us back to Naples' Campi Flegrei area with its vibrant energy. In addition to capturing daily life, Fabris also painted portraits such as "Portrait of Parents" which beautifully immortalizes individuals through oil on canvas. Furthermore, he documented historical events like "The Sicilian Royals visiting Vesuvius during eruption" - offering us a glimpse into significant moments. Fabris was not limited to land-based subjects; he also depicted maritime scenes like "Procession of the Royal Ships at Posillipo. " His attention to detail shines through even when portraying fishmongers or creating panoramic views of Naples and its surroundings. One cannot overlook Fabris' ability to depict social gatherings; nobles lunching in front of caves exemplifies this perfectly. These paintings allow us insight into the lifestyles and customs prevalent during that era.
