Andreotti started his training at a very young age with Angiolo Tricca. In 1862 he entered the Florence Academy where he studied under Pollastrini and Ussi. The First Fiddle, depicting a violin teacher demonstrating how to hold the instrument , the music on the stand bearing the title 'Lezione V', Lesson 5, is a typical example of his genre pieces. | Subjects: | everyday life (music); figure; | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Andreotti, Federigo (Italian painter, 1847-1930) Æ Manner of | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8801... | Go to resource |
