Portrait of Dominican Father Signed and Dated Luigi Mussini 1860 Tuscan School
About the Item
Luigi Mussini Portrait Of Dominican Father 1860 taken frontally, half-length, with dark green background. Dressed in a buttoned smock and a white cassock rendered with a masterful brushstroke with iridescent, silky effect. This is a middle-aged, almost balding father, his face turned slightly to the right, his gaze is intense, stern or otherwise pensive as denounced by his furrowed brows and tight lips. The simplicity in setting and the icastic rendering bring the portrait of the religious man back into the purist Tuscan painting culture of the mid-19th century.
The work is painted in oil on canvas, in good conservative condition, comes from a private collection in Milan and is presented within a beautiful wooden frame carved with shells, scrolls, and gilded mecha.
On the back of the canvas an inscription with author's signature and date: L. Mussini in vitarciano? october 8, 1860, concerning Luigi Mussini (Berlin 1813 - Siena 1888).
Measurements of canvas only: Height: 60 cm- 23.62 inches x Width: 48.5 cm-19 inches

Luigi Mussini (Berlin 1813 - Siena 1888) studied at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Florence, where he was a disciple of Pietro Benvenuti and Giuseppe Bezzuoli.
In 1840 he won a boarding school in Rome, where he stayed for four years studying painting. He was inspired by the masters of the 15th century and opened a school in Florence in 1844: his disciples were Silvestro Lega and Michele Gordigiani.
In 1848 he left the brushes to participate as a volunteer in the First War of Independence. Disillusioned with the unhappy outcome he went to Paris where he attended Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Hyppolite Flandrin, William Haussoullier and other artists.
In 1851 he moved to Siena, where he became director of the Academy of Fine Arts, a position he held for 37 years until his death. At the Sienese academy he was a teacher of, among others, Angelo Visconti, Amos Cassioli, Cesare Maccari, Giuseppe Catani Chiti, Pietro Aldi and Alessandro Franchi, and Antonio Ridolfi. He married Luigia Piaggio, who died in childbirth, giving birth to his only daughter, Luisa, who also became a painter.

18th Century, Venetian School Italian Landscape Oversize Painting
Located in Milano, MI
Early 18th century Italian Venetian inland painting, a large size oil on canvas Baroque mountain landscape with stream, bridge, waterfall, wayfarers and a village in the background. The woodland is animated by figures, a caravan with horsemen fishermen. This monumental Italian Baroque landscape painting has a strong impact and an excellent composition balance, as it depicts in the center the luminous perspective of a fortified village, whose side wings consist of two mountain rocks with dark wooded vegetation crowded by characters, horsemen, paths, streams.On the left side, with respect to the observer, there is a path that runs alongside a stream that flows into a waterfall in the center of the composition. from a caravan of travelers on foot and on horseback traveling along it in both directions: going up the slope on the mountainous coast you can see a church and a village near the top. The right part of the painting depicts a more sparse and dry vegetation, painted in the chromatic tones of ocher, inside of which there are dead plant, dry branches and a smaller number of figures on the rugged mountain. The iconographic inspiration of this wooded representation seems to be in the large trunk of the withered conifer in a central position, which represents a dead tree, as a? reminder of the transience of everything in life, whose phases are summarized in the two mountainous coasts. In the background a village painted in light and soft blue colors, in stark contrast to the previous scene, seems to reassure and project us into a future season.
With a suggestive theatrical effect, more than 250 cm wide, this Baroque Italian painting comes from a private collection of Milan, the canvas has been lined and shows minor painting retouches at a horizontal seam of the canvas. It is unframed, it has just a wooden profile covering the canvas edge.
It is an antique Italian landscape, the perfect opportunity to make a statement. Get the perfect size painting for a great living room, to create that eye-catching focal point. You can make an impact with a single large work by hanging this early 18th century Italian Baroque painting...
