Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo (July 28, 1868 - June 14, 1907) was an Italian painter. He was born and died in Volpedo, in the Piedmont region of northern Italy.
Pellizza, considered a neo-impressionist artist, was a divisionist painter - using small dots of paints according to specific color theory.
His most famous work is Il Quarto Stato ("The Fourth Estate"). This rich, expressive work 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.
