Abbati was known for his innovative approach to painting, characterized by the use of en plein air techniques and a focus on capturing the effects of light and atmosphere in his works. He was a prominent member of the Macchiaioli group, a collective of Italian artists who rebelled against the academic conventions of the time and sought to create art that was more spontaneous and naturalistic.

Abbati's paintings often depicted rural landscapes, seascapes, and scenes of everyday life, rendered with a vibrant and expressive style. His use of bold brushwork and vivid colors set him apart from his contemporaries and earned him recognition as a leading figure in the development of modern Italian painting.
