Ernesto Fontana (1837- 1918)
Educated at the Brera Academy in Milan, Fontana followed the courses of Giuseppe Sogni, Francesco Hayez and Giuseppe Bertini, along with such protagonists of Lombard painting in the second half of the 19th century as Tranquillo Cremona, Daniele Ranzoni, Filippo Carcano and Mosè Bianchi, with whom he also shared a studio. He initially moved toward the themes of historical romanticism. He began his career by painting historical paintings: The meeting between Elizabeth and Mary Stuart was awarded a gold medal at the National Painting Exhibition in Milan and later purchased by the British Museum in London. Among other things, he won a gold medal at the Ferrara Exposition in 1875. Fontana, however, was most at home in genre painting, close in taste, and also related in friendship, to the Induno brothers, the true initiators of anecdotal painting.
He also devoted himself to the fresco decoration of Lombard patrician churches and palaces. Particularly noteworthy are a theory of nudes that decorated the bathroom of a rich and well-known Milanese man (Marangoni, 1924) and, above all, the frescoes in some of the rooms of Villa Olmo in Como, owned by the Visconti di Modrone dukes.
Fontana then takes from the Scapigliatura the sentimentalist attitudes that he translates into the subjects of his paintings in a light tone that is easy to popularize: endowed with a certain technical skill, he also devoted himself to painting graceful and mischievous female figures.
