Pompeo Massani was a famous Italian painter born in Florence in December 1850 and died in the same city on August 25, 1920. After completing his studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, he was mentored for three years by Michele Gordigiani.
His artistic career began with the painting 'La politica in canonica', which earned him a silver medal at the Rovigo Exhibition of 1879. In 1881, Massani won first place at the Genoa exhibition with the work 'Un brindisi al frate', in which he depicted over 36 figures. Among his other most important works are 'The Design Lesson', owned by the Goupil Gallery, 'The Old Bachelors', 'A Card Game', 'The Concert', 'In the Cellar', and 'The Salute to the Hunchback'.
Massani was also the author of portraits as famous as they are important, including those of King Vittorio Emanuele and the Countess of Mirafiore. The Italian painter was also responsible for many works depicting scenes of public life, such as the painting on tambourines, in which he portrayed lively public scenes, including 'At the Marionette Theater,' 'At the Equestrian Circus,' 'The Juggler,' and 'Joyful Moment.'
In 1889, Massani participated in the Monaco Exhibition, where he displayed the painting 'Equestrian Circus'. Throughout his career, Massani was appointed honorary professor of the Royal Academy of Fine Art in Florence, and in 1887 he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of the Crown of Italy. His art was primarily focused on genre painting, often depicting scenes in costume and satirical poses.
