One of his best-known paintings, After the Orgy (1928), shows three nude women (apparently the same model in three different poses) asleep on a floor littered with wine bottles, playing cards and cigarettes, with an effect "more depressing than titillating". His work, which includes portraits, nudes, still lifes, scenes of popular life, and religious pictures, shows the influence of the German painters of the New Objectivity.
Cagnaccio's early paintings were in a Futurist idiom, but by the early 1920s he had adopted a very smoothly brushed, nearly photographic style. His artistic training was at the Academy of Fine Art in Venice, where he studied under Ettore Tito.
Cagnaccio di San Pietro (Janu– May 29, 1946), born Natale Bentivoglio Scarpa, was an Italian magic realist painter.
