Anselmo Sacerdote
'Spring in the Soana Valley, ' Dolomites, Piedmont, Gran Paradiso National Park

1903

About the Item

Incised signature lower left, 'A. Sacerdote' for Anselmo Sacerdote (Italian, 1868-1923), titled, lower right, 'Val Soana' and dated August, 1903. Anselmo Sacerdote was born in Turin and first apprenticed in the studio of Vittorio Avondo, the director of the Museo Civico of Turin, (predecessor of the present Museo Civico d'Arte Antica). From 1903, Sacerdote exhibited at both the Società Promotrice delle Belle Arti and with the Turinese Circle of Artists. He was later appointed the secretary-conservator at the Museo Civico d'Arte Antica, a position that he held for 23 years. Sacerdote was influenced by academic landscape painters including Lorenzo Delleani and the so-called School of Rivara. This latter group painted outdoors on scene, and were interested in capturing fleeting atmospheric seasons, times, and weather of the mountains and valleys. Among his colleagues who specialized in painting the Piedmontese alpine valleys, were Vittorio Cavalleri, Giovanni Colmo, and Carlo Pollonera. An early camera enthusiast, Sacerdote often took pictures to help him work up his painting in the studio. The area of the North-Western Italian Alps where the artist liked to paint is now home to the Gran Paradiso National Park. A protected area, it is home to many protected species including ibex and chamois.

Inscribed lower right, "Carl Sorensen" for Carl Frederick Sorensen (Danish, 1818-1879) and dated 1863. In 1848, Sorensen was commissioned by the Danish Government as the official naval artist to accompany the Royal Danish Navy on an official tour of the Mediterranean and to make a series of studies of the trip. The inspiration that Sorensen derived from this expedition led him to return to Capri every summer for the remainder of his life and also inaugurated his career as Denmark’s preeminent marine painter. Sorensen received many honors and awards during his lifetime and his work may be found in the permanent collections of museums worldwide, including a substantial collection at the Royal Naval...
