The Fourth Estate

His most famous work, The Fourth Estate ("Il Quarto Stato") (1901), has become a well-known symbol for progressive and socialist causes in Italy, and throughout Europe. The painting is shown during the opening credits of Bernardo Bertolucci's film 1900 and is currently housed at the Museo del Novecento in Milan. An earlier version is held in the Pinacoteca di Brera.

Pellizza hanged himself in 1907, after the deaths of his wife and son.
