“Mentre De Pisis creava, risultava sempre più evidente la frattura spirituale tra il mondo sereno di Manet, sensualmente risolto in pittura, […] ed il clima così turbato ed estroso che confessa in lui un’inquietudine nuova, spiritualmente più complessa della serenità gioiosa e panica dei maestri francesi dell’impressionismo.” "While De Pisis created, it resulted more and more evident the spiritual fracture among the serene world of Manet, sensually resolved in painting, [...] and the so disturbed and whimsical mood that confessed in him a new restlessness, spiritually more complex than the cheerful serenity of the French Impressionist masters."

Rodolfo Pallucchini, in Lettere e Arti, Venezia, febbraio 1946
