Born in Tocco da Casauria, Italy, Michetti began his artistic career as a student of the painter Gabriele Smargiassi. He later moved to Naples, where he studied under Domenico Morelli and Filippo Palizzi. Michetti's early works were influenced by the realist movement that was popular in Italy at the time. He painted scenes of everyday life, often depicting peasants and fishermen in their natural surroundings. His paintings were characterised by their attention to detail and the use of bright colours. In the 1880s Michetti began to travel extensively throughout Europe and his style began to develop. He was particularly influenced by the Impressionist movement, which was gaining popularity at the time. He began to experiment with light and colour, using bold brushstrokes and a more vivid palette. Michetti's most famous works include 'The Return from the Fields', 'The Spinner' and 'The Fisherman's Widow'. These paintings are remarkable for their emotional intensity and ability to capture the essence of everyday life. Despite his success as an artist, Michetti remained modest and dedicated to his craft throughout his life. He continued to paint until his death in 1929, leaving a legacy that continues to inspire artists today.
