"La Sosta dei Soldati" (The Soldiers' Rest) is a renowned painting by Giovanni Fattori, a leading artist of the Macchiaioli movement, which was the Italian equivalent of the French Impressionists. The Macchiaioli were known for their innovative approach to light and color, focusing on the natural landscapes and daily life of Tuscany. Fattori, in particular, was celebrated for his military scenes, which often depicted the Italian Wars of Independence and the experiences of soldiers.

Created in 1863, "La Sosta dei Soldati" is a prime example of Fattori's mastery in capturing the candid moments of military life. The painting portrays a group of soldiers taking a break from their duties, engaging in mundane activities such as resting and conversing. The composition is notable for its loose brushwork and the use of chiaroscuro to emphasize the figures against a largely undefined background, a technique that enhances the sense of immediacy and realism.

The artwork reflects the social and political climate of Italy during the Risorgimento, the period of Italian unification. Fattori's interest in the subject matter was not merely academic; he served as a volunteer in the Tuscan army during the Second Italian War of Independence, which provided him with firsthand experience and insight into the life of soldiers. This personal connection to the military imbues his work with authenticity and emotional depth.

"La Sosta dei Soldati" is considered an important work within Fattori's oeuvre and the Macchiaioli movement as a whole. It is often highlighted for its historical significance and its role in the development of modern Italian painting. The painting is housed in a prominent art collection and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural contributions to the understanding of 19th-century Italy.
