Die Lampe is a 1912 oil by Giovanni Giacometti, held at Kunsthaus Zürich.
The painting depicts a family gathered around a table, with a large green lamp hanging above them. The scene is rendered in warm, vibrant colors, with the family members' faces and clothing visible. The artist has used bold brushstrokes and vivid hues to create a sense of energy and warmth in the scene. The use of color and light adds depth and dimension to the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Giovanni Giacometti, who was known for his expressive use of color and light.
Giovanni Ulrico Giacometti (7 March 1868 – 25 June 1933) was a Swiss painter. He was the father of artists Alberto and Diego Giacometti and architect Bruno Giacometti.
