"Diego Martelli mounted on horseback" is a notable painting by the Italian artist Giovanni Fattori, a leading figure of the Macchiaioli movement. The painting, created in 1875, is an exemplary work that captures the essence of the Macchiaioli's approach to art, which emphasized the use of patches of color (macchie) to create light and shadow, rather than relying on detailed line work.

Giovanni Fattori (1825-1908) was a prominent member of the Macchiaioli, a group of Italian painters active in Tuscany in the second half of the 19th century. The Macchiaioli were forerunners of the Impressionists, and they sought to break away from the academic conventions of their time by painting en plein air (outdoors) and focusing on everyday subjects. Fattori's works often depicted rural scenes, military life, and portraits, characterized by their bold use of color and light.

Diego Martelli (1839-1896), the subject of this painting, was an influential art critic, writer, and a key supporter of the Macchiaioli. Martelli was a close friend of Fattori and other members of the movement, and he played a crucial role in promoting their work. His villa in Castiglioncello became a meeting place for the artists, where they could discuss ideas and work together.

In "Diego Martelli mounted on horseback," Fattori portrays Martelli in a relaxed and informal manner, reflecting the close personal relationship between the artist and his subject. The painting is notable for its dynamic composition and the way Fattori captures the play of light on Martelli and his horse. The background is rendered with broad, loose brushstrokes, typical of the Macchiaioli style, which contrasts with the more detailed depiction of Martelli and the horse.

This work is an important example of Fattori's portraiture and his ability to convey the personality and character of his subjects. It also serves as a testament to the close-knit community of artists and intellectuals in 19th-century Tuscany, and the significant role that Diego Martelli played in the development and promotion of the Macchiaioli movement.
