Das Gemälde Il pittore von Giovanni Giacometti zeigt seinen ältesten Sohn Alberto im Alter von 20 Jahren. Bedingt durch eine starke Erkrankung an Mumps im Alter von 17 Jahren, bricht Alberto die Schule in Schiers ab und konzentriert sich nur noch auf seine künstlerische Laufbahn. Sein Lehrer und Förderer wurde sein Vater Giovanni. Er zeigt Alberto auf diesem Gemälde als Maler in der Landschaft in der Nähe von Stampa. Dieses in sehr frischen Farben gehaltene aber auch sehr offiziell anmutende Malerporträt, Alberto gekleidet in Hemd, Kravatte und Sonntagsanzug und zusammen mit den Malerattributen Pinsel und Palette, kann als grosse Anerkennung des Vaters, Alberto als Künstler, interpretiert werden.
This painting with the title Il pittore (the painter Alberto) by Giovanni Giacometti depicts his eldest son, Alberto, at the age of 20. Suffering from a severe case of the mumps, Alberto stopped attending school in Schiers at the age of 17 and concentrated solely upon his career as an artist. Giovanni was both his teacher and his patron. In this painting, Giovanni depicts Alberto as a painter standing in the countryside near Stampa. Although painted in fresh colours, this seemingly very official portrayal of Alberto as a painter, dressed as he is in his Sunday suit with shirt and tie, and holding the instruments of a painter – brush and palette, can be interpreted as a sign of his father’s great appreciation of Alberto’s skill as an artist.
