The painting "Four White Socks" by Giovanni Fattori, made between 1875 and 1885, is an oil on canvas currently held at the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo. The work comes from the Viareggio collection of Emanuel Rossetti.
In this particular painting, Fattori focuses on the animal itself, capturing its essence with a realism and attention to detail that testify to his deep bond with the subject. The work belongs to a period in which the artist was exploring with great mastery the relationship between light and colour, distinctive features of the Macchiaioli movement. The small panel, despite its modest size, manages to express the power and presence of the animal, typical of Fattori's vibrant, incisive brushwork.
