"Rauchender, Neapolitanischer Junge" (Smoking Neapolitan Boy) is a painting by the Italian artist Arturo Petrocelli, known for his works that often depict scenes from everyday life in Naples during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Although the exact date of creation for this particular piece is not well-documented, it is believed to have been painted during the peak of Petrocelli's artistic career, which spanned from the 1880s to the early 1900s.

The painting portrays a young boy from Naples, a common subject for Petrocelli, who was known for his ability to capture the character and mood of the city's inhabitants. The boy is depicted smoking, an activity that, while not uncommon at the time, especially in the lower socio-economic strata of society, may carry a range of interpretive nuances from the romanticization of street life to a commentary on the social conditions of the era.

Petrocelli's work is characterized by its vivid realism and attention to detail, which is evident in the "Rauchender, Neapolitanischer Junge." The artist's use of lighting and color brings a sense of immediacy to the scene, inviting viewers to engage with the cultural and historical context of Naples. The painting is a fine example of Petrocelli's skill in portraiture and genre painting, capturing the essence of Neapolitan street life with a blend of empathy and critical observation.

As with many of Petrocelli's works, "Rauchender, Neapolitanischer Junge" is significant for its contribution to the Italian verismo movement, which sought to depict the truth and reality of everyday life, often focusing on the lower classes. The painting is held in private collections or displayed in regional art museums in Italy, contributing to the cultural heritage and understanding of the period in which Petrocelli worked.

The painting's historical and cultural value is enhanced by its representation of Neapolitan youth at the turn of the century, serving as a visual document of the era's social dynamics. It remains an important work for scholars studying the intersection of art, society, and history in Southern Italy during this time.
