The son of a cloth merchant, he showed from an early age a keen interest in drawing and the fine arts.
His parents, art collectors, indulged this inclination and in 1863 decided to entrust him to the private teachings of landscape painter Gaetano Fasanotti, holder of the landscape chair at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, where Leonardo enrolled in 1868, a student of Raffaele Casnedi and Giuseppe Bertini. Considered one of the leading exponents of Lombard naturalism, on a par with Eugenio Gignous and Filippo Carcano, his production is more focused on landscape subjects where the depiction of everyday family life is emphasized.
In his early years, Bazzaro was oriented on perspective views of church interiors and well-known Milanese palaces, with a seventeenth-eighteenth-century verista imprint derived from the master Giuseppe Bertini: his former Brera classmates gave him the nickname little Velasquez, attesting to the strong expressive intensity he achieved in these early stages. In the late 1970s, following the model of Moses Bianchi, he traveled frequently to the Venetian Lagoon and, in particular, to Chioggia, where he experimented with landscape painting, often interspersing it with genre scenes en plein air, enhancing the clarity of the light on the sea and the hues of the buildings overlooking the canals. Later, the acquaintance of colleagues Achille Tominetti, Eugenio Gignous and Uberto Dell'Orto brought him to the Verbano territories, where he reproduced those mountain landscapes that became his hallmark of recognition, moved there and painted the tranquil atmosphere of his everyday family life, thus becoming among the most sought-after authors by middle-class collectors.

- The Holy Family with Saint John the BaptistLocated in Como, ITCircle of Bernardo Castello (1557-1629) The Holy Family with Saint John the Baptist 1600-1615 circa Oil on canvas in gilded frame Measures in cm: 84 x 63 cm (104 x 84 cm including frame) Measures in inch: 33.07 x 24.80 in (40,95 x 33,08 in including the frame) One of the most widespread iconographies in Italian painting from the Renaissance onwards, that of the Holy Family, is set in a sober and at the same time elegant interior, as the presence of the gold-edged green curtain that closes the space like a backdrop states. Whether it takes place in the intimacy of the house in Nazareth, as in the painting presented here, or it is placed outdoors, the scene includes the presence in the role of protagonists of the Madonna and Child Jesus, flanked by the protective figure of Joseph, always held a slightly aloof. In some cases, including ours, the Child is in dialogue with the little John the Baptist, thus alluding to the role played by the latter in the history of salvation, as the gesture of Jesus explicitly indicates in our canvas, who blesses the one who will be destined to baptize him in the waters of the Jordan. The 'room' dimensions, the calm religious intonation that pervades the representation, underlined by the very evident presence of the haloes, attest that the painting was conceived for the private devotion of its client and probably intended for a bedroom or for the walls of a small home chapel. The cleaning carried out in recent times allows you to appreciate the bright and lively chromatic range, orchestrated on the refined harmony between the shades of the Virgin's robes - blue and carmine red - and the bright green of the curtain that forms the backdrop to the scene. A particularly delicate pictorial drafting, well appreciated in the soft rendering of the faces and limbs of the two children - observe, for example, the suffused chiaroscuro transitions of the face of Jesus - is combined with a sensitive and tender description of the 'affects', allowing us to place this painting in the context of the painting of the Catholic Counter-Reformation and of the principles of verisimilitude and naturalness advocated by it in reaction to the expressive licenses and formal abstractions of the Mannerist figurative culture derived from Michelangelo's lesson. The return to a sober and juxtaposed pictorial language and simplified compositional schemes, often inspired by the early sixteenth century examples of Raphael and Andrea del Sarto, which we also recognize in our Holy Family, characterizes the work of numerous artists scattered throughout the various centers of the Peninsula , from the Bologna of the Carracci, to the Tuscany of Santi di Tito, to the Marche of Federico Barocci, up to Rome, Naples and Milan, where Camillo Procaccini and Guglielmo Caccia...Category

- Grazing HorseLocated in Como, ITRuggero Panerai (Firenze 1862-1923) Grazing horse Oil on canvas in gilded frame Canvas size 100x70 cm (116x86 cm with frame) Signed at the bottom left Last quarter 19th century Ruggero Panerai was born in Florence on 13 March 1862. He was employed as a carpenter until the age of fifteen and then studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, which he attended from 1877 to 1881. His teacher was Giovanni Fattori, who introduced him to the naturalistic painting of landscapes of the Tuscan Maremma and considered him among his most deserving students. Factors' teachings were decisive in orienting the young artist, who adopted the themes and the pictorial technique, updating them with the naturalism flowered in Tuscany through the example of Luigi and Francesco Gioli, Tommasi and Egisto Ferroni. In 1883 he exhibited at the Promotrice in Florence, his impressionism was inspired by the works of Guido Carocci. His painting is also affected by the bourgeois and worldly look of Giuseppe De Nittis and the manner of Vittorio Matteo Corcos who for some years lived in Paris but who returned to Livorno from time to time. Useful for a contact with the Parisian culture could also have been, for Panerai, the proximity with Francesco and Luigi Gioli, who in 1878 went to the French capital, where they had frequented Federico Zandomeneghi. Panerai was also attracted by the military theme. Military subjects are in fact among the most practiced and loved by the artist, who declines them in numerous variations, mostly devoid of pathos, but adhering to a quiet image. In 1887 his painting "Il Guado", presented in Venice, was chosen for the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome, but instead entered the "Pisani" Gallery. In the same year he exhibited in Genoa, Florence and Milan, where he won the Fumagalli Prize with "Il cavallo malato" (Florence, Galleria d'arte moderna of Palazzo Pitti), a painting in which his qualities as a sensitive animalist painter stand...Category
