Description: | Signed: yes Description: Pasini was born in Busseto in Italy in 1826. He studied at the di Parma under Guiseppe Boccaccio and Girolamo Magnani (1815-1889). After fighting in the first war of independence, he went to Paris in 1851. Here he became familiar with the work of the Barbizon School. In 1855, thanks to the interest of the painter Théodore Chassériau (1819-1856), he accepted a diplomatic mission to Persia. It is from this time that his interest in the East can be seen in his work, his oriental paintings making up the majority of his art from this time. Returning to Paris, he exhibited at the Salon and was awarded the Légion d'honneur. He received commissions at this time from both the Scià of Persia and the Sultan of Constantinople. From 1871 he moved to Cavoretto in the hills of Turin in Italy, making frequent visits from here to Paris and Venice. It is from this time that his atmospheric studies of Venice date. | Subjects: | figure; townscape; marine; everyday life; place (Venice); buildings and gardens | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Pasini, Alberto (Italian painter, printmaker, 1826-1899) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8827... | Go to resource |
