"Pastorella" is a painting by the Italian artist Filippo Palizzi (1818–1899), who was a prominent figure in the school of the Posillipo painters and a pioneer of the Verismo (Realism) movement in Italian art. The work, whose title translates to "Shepherdess" in English, is a fine example of Palizzi's dedication to naturalistic and rural subjects, which he portrayed with a meticulous attention to detail and a profound sense of realism.

The painting depicts a young shepherdess in a pastoral landscape, a theme that was quite popular in the 19th-century European art as a romanticized representation of rural life. Palizzi's approach to the subject matter, however, is noted for its departure from the idealized visions of the countryside, offering instead a more authentic and unembellished portrayal of the figure and her surroundings. The shepherdess is typically shown engaged in her daily tasks, surrounded by her flock, and set against the backdrop of the Italian countryside, which Palizzi rendered with a keen observation of light and atmosphere.

"Pastorella" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for the way it reflects the social and cultural context of Italy during the time of its creation. The painting is an example of Palizzi's commitment to depicting the lives of common people and the natural world, themes that aligned with the broader Realist movement in Europe that sought to represent subjects truthfully, without artificiality and avoiding artistic conventions, implausible, exotic, and supernatural elements.

While the exact date of "Pastorella" is not specified, it is likely to have been created during the mid to late 19th century, a period when Palizzi had established his reputation as a leading artist in the Neapolitan art scene. The painting is one of several works by Palizzi that celebrate the beauty and dignity of rural life, and it exemplifies the artist's skill in capturing the essence of the Italian landscape and its inhabitants.

"Pastorella" is held in high regard by art historians and critics for its contribution to the development of Italian Realism and for its influence on subsequent generations of artists. The work is part of Palizzi's broader legacy as a master of landscape and genre painting, and it continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.
