Alpine landscapes and everyday life

The mountains and valleys of south-eastern Switzerland were central to Giovanni Giacometti’s painting. He returned to the Engadin and Val Bregaglia throughout his career, depicting snow-covered slopes, flowering meadows, forest paths and the changing light on Lake Sils. His paintings give colour an active role: separate strokes describe reflected light, while broader passages build the shapes of mountains, trees and water.

This collection includes views of Maloja, Capolago and Stampa alongside portraits, still lifes and family subjects. Paintings such as Piz Duan, Winter Landscape Near Capolago and Young Mother show how closely his work remained connected to his surroundings and the people he knew.

Training, friendship and Giovanni Segantini

Giacometti met Cuno Amiet while studying in Munich. The two became lifelong friends and continued their training together at the Académie Julian in Paris, where Giacometti studied with William-Adolphe Bouguereau and Tony Robert-Fleury.

After returning to Switzerland, he formed an important friendship with Giovanni Segantini, who became his mentor in 1894. Segantini’s Divisionist technique, using separate strokes of colour to suggest light, helped shape Giacometti’s early Alpine paintings. Ferdinand Hodler was another important artistic connection; Giacometti exhibited alongside Hodler and Amiet in Zurich in 1898.

Post-Impressionism and connections with Die Brücke

Through Amiet, Giacometti encountered ideas associated with the Pont-Aven School and the colour experiments of Gauguin, Van Gogh and Cézanne. He developed these influences into his own approach to Swiss landscape painting, moving from Segantini’s closely worked colour towards freer brushwork and stronger contrasts.

Giacometti also exhibited with the German Expressionist group Die Brücke in 1908. His connection with the group belongs to the wider exchange between Swiss painters and European modernism.
