"Fiammiferaio" (The Match Seller) is an oil painting by the Italian artist Antonio Rotta, created in 1850. The work is notable for its realistic portrayal of a young boy, a common subject in Rotta's art, which often depicted the lives of children with a compassionate and sometimes sentimental eye. Rotta, born in Gorizia on February 28, 1828, and later active in Venice, was associated with the genre painting movement, which sought to depict ordinary people engaged in everyday activities.

The painting "Fiammiferaio" is a fine example of Rotta's skill in capturing the emotional depth and the socio-economic context of his subjects. The young match seller is typically shown as a street urchin, embodying the struggles of the lower classes in 19th-century Italy. Rotta's attention to detail in the boy's attire and the surrounding environment enhances the narrative quality of the painting, inviting viewers to reflect on the social issues of the time.

"Fiammiferaio" is characterized by its warm color palette and the use of light, which highlights the vulnerability and innocence of the child, while also emphasizing the harsh realities of child labor. Rotta's work is often praised for its ability to evoke empathy and for providing a historical record of the living conditions of children during the period.

The painting is part of Antonio Rotta's broader oeuvre, which contributed to the Italian realist movement. His works are held in various collections and have been exhibited in numerous galleries, reflecting the enduring interest in his compassionate portrayal of human subjects. "Fiammiferaio" remains a significant work for its artistic merit and its poignant social commentary, offering insight into the artist's concerns and the historical context in which he worked.
