Great painting, unknown artist and title because I neglected to shoot the credit.
Portrait of Giuseppe Garibaldi by Gerlamo Induno. The man, the legend. The bits of Italian history I learned paint (as it were) this guy as a giant in the formation of Italy as a country.
Samson by Francesco Hayez.
Academic Nude by Francesco Hayez, circa 1812.
Study for a Portrait of His Mother by Antonio Ciseri. A man who learned the lessons Rembrandt taught!
Study of a Female Head by Antonio Ciseri.
Self-Portrait (?) by Antonio Ciseri.
Portrait of Emilio Zocchi by Raffaello Sorbi. Dude, why so angry?
Portrait of Oronzo Lelli by Raffaello Sorbi. He looks a little angry too. Maybe it was Sorbi that was angry... or maybe he was annoying and made his subjects angry.
Portrait of Giulia Tempestini Kennedy Lawrie by Giovanni Boldini.
Portrait of the Countess Giulia Fabbricotti by Alessandro Ossani, 1869.
Three Peasant Women by Cristiano Banti.
Three Peasant Women (at dusk) by Cristiano Banti.
Lumberjacks (?) by Cristiano Banti. Love this guy's work.
Portrait of Alaide Banti by Oscar Ghiglia.
The Gypsy by Giovanni Boldini.
The Moneylender by Domenico Induno.
Episode from the Battle of Simari by Carlo Ademollo. In the 1800s the war paintings become a lot more specific, gritty, and with way less glorification. Finally.
Pasquale Cova at the Battle of Varese by Carlo Ademollo.
Anna Cuminiello Found Dead the Day After the Battle of San Martino by Carlo Ademollo.
Italian Conscripts from the Sigismondo Regiment After the Battle of Magenta by Alessandro Lanfredini.
Raphael Dying by Rodolfo Morgari, 1880. Yes, it's that Raphael.
Hunt for the Duke of Athens by Stefano Ussi.
The Transport of Christ by Antonio Ciseri.
Corradino of Swabia Listens to His Death Sentence by Egisto Sarri, 1861 - 1863.
Detail. Look at what he does with the foreground versus background figures in terms of how polished they are. Crazy!
The Older Sister by Enrico Pestellini. Sibling rivalry!
Illegible title by Arturo Faldi.
The Battle of Grain by Giuseppe Graziosi. This was hanging in the hallway to the bathrooms. Seriously! I'd be happy to store it for them if space is at such a premium there.
Bath for Prisoners in Portoferraio by Telemaco Signorini, 1890.
At the Fountain by Egisto Ferroni, 1879.
To the Fields by Egisto Ferroni.
Portrait of Peasants, "Stella and Piero" by Vittorio Corcos, 1889. I like what he did with the background, almost like 2 separate paintings.
Portrait of Giuseppina Mattei by Vittorio Corcos.
The Sheep Jump by Giovanni Fattori.
Maternal Joys by Niccolo Cannicci.
In the Forest of Capodimonte by Federico Cortese.
Detail.
Illegible title by John Singer Sargent. I was surprised to see one of his paintings here but it totally fits in with the contemporaneous work around it. It was kind of tucked off to the side and compared to the other paintings the placement was appropriate.
Lancelot and Helen by Sidney Paget. Another import but a cut above Sargent's.
The Dispatch on January 9, 1878 by Ordoardo Borrani. The internet implies this refers to the death of King Victor Emmanuel II and the subsequent crowning of Umberto I.
The Vote by Antonio Mancini.
The Coral Maker by Antonio Mancini.
Portrait of Giovanni Papini by Oscar Ghiglia.
Boatmen on the Arno by Augusto Bastianini.
New Year in Bangkok by Galileo Chini. I shot this one five times and this photo best captures the brushstrokes and magnificent color, despite the angle and highlights.
