Vittorio Reggianini (1858–1938) was an Italian painter known for his detailed and elegant depictions of bourgeois life during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His works often focused on scenes of refined domestic interiors, featuring well-dressed figures engaged in leisurely or artistic pursuits. One of his notable paintings, The Recital, exemplifies his characteristic style and subject matter.

The Recital portrays a group of aristocratic figures gathered in an opulent interior, listening to or participating in a musical performance. The painting is meticulously detailed, showcasing Reggianini's skill in rendering luxurious fabrics, intricate furniture, and the overall ambiance of the setting. The figures are dressed in period attire, reflecting the fashion of the 18th or early 19th century, which was a common theme in Reggianini's works, despite his own era being much later. This choice of historical costume and setting suggests a nostalgic idealization of a bygone era of elegance and sophistication.

Reggianini's technique is marked by a smooth, polished finish and careful attention to light and color, which enhance the sense of realism in his scenes. In The Recital, the interplay of light on the figures and their surroundings creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the intimate moment depicted. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the figures arranged in a way that guides the viewer's eye through the scene.

While Reggianini's works were popular during his lifetime, they are less well-known today, often overshadowed by the more avant-garde movements of his contemporaries. However, his paintings remain appreciated for their technical excellence and their ability to evoke a sense of nostalgia for a romanticized past. The Recital is a prime example of his ability to capture the grace and refinement of his subjects, making it a valuable piece within the genre of genre painting.

Specific details about the provenance or current location of The Recital are not widely documented, as is the case with many of Reggianini's works.
