Date: 1974
Size: 26.5" x 38.5" (67 x 98cms)
Condition: A, newly linenbacked.
Artist: Giovanni Carnovali (29 September 1804 - 5 July 1873), Known as Il Piccio.
Carnovali was born in Montegrino Valtravaglia (Varese). In 1815, at the age of just 11, he was admitted to the Carrara Academy in Bergamo under the guidance of the director Giuseppe Diotti, who immediately recognised his young pupil’s natural talent. The artist soon began to break away from the strict Neoclassicism of his academic training and return to the figurative tradition of the 16th and 17th century, which he interpreted with great expressive freedom, especially in portrait painting. His debut at the exhibition of the Carrara Academy and his first major public commission for a work on a religious subject came in 1826. (ref. Wiki)
