About the Item

Beautiful watercolor depicting one of the arch of the Imperial forums in Rome, with various genre scenes. With a beautiful walnut root frame with golden wood inside, a piece of true Italian quality. Signed Onorato Carlandi. Onorato Carlandi (Rome, 15 May 1848 - Rome, 11 April 1939) was an Italian painter. He was the son of Francesco and Camilla Castellani and therefore his nephew Fortunato Pio Castellani. The family had assigned him to a career as a lawyer, but instead he enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome. At the age of 18 he volunteered for Garibaldi's Hunters in the Alps. Later he moved to Naples to improve his artistic training. In 1871 he returned to Rome. Here he exhibited some paintings of Risorgimento inspiration: The Boat of the Cairoli, The Prisoners of Mentana. In 1875, together with Ettore Roesler Franz, Pio Joris and Cesare Biseo, he founded the "Society of Roman Watercolorists". In 1880 he went to England, where he could study the English landscape architects. He lived in London until 1891, when he returned to Rome and participated in the association "In arte libertas". At the dissolution of this he founded, together with others, the group of the "XXV of the Roman countryside", of which he became the most representative artist. His nickname was "Capoccetta", a title that previously belonged to Enrico Coleman. He became friends with the Tuscan painter Cesare Bertolla, with whom he visited the marshes of Maccarese, where the marshes reflected the brightness of the sky. In 1899 he participated in the III International Art Exhibition in Venice. On April 18, 1908 he was initiated in Freemasonry in Italy in the Loggia Rienzi in Rome . His works are conserved in Rome at the National Gallery of Modern Art, at the Municipal Gallery of Modern Art, at the Gallery of the National Academy of San Luca and at the Museum of Rome. In Turin at the Modern Art Gallery.
