Details

Italian painter. He first attended the Florence Academy under the Romantic painter Bezzuoli, before completing his studies in Rome. After his return to Florence, he successfully pursued a career as both a history and portrait painter for distinguished patrons. His approach to portraiture was similar to that of Ingres, with his sensuous linear pattern and enamel-like colouring. //
