Signed Giuseppe Cavalla: Turin 1859 – 1935
Began art under his father Francesco, a decorator, studied at the Albertina Academy with A. Moja, E. Gamba and A. Gastaldi. The academic training determinately influenced the artist's production, never detached from conventional professionalism and essentially tied to a theoretical approach from the same teaching role at the Academy that he held for forty years. He specialized in sacred-character mural decoration, often working in collaboration with his father and with R. Morgari. Cavalla was also a portraitist, scenographer and author of graceful genre scenes (Idyll, Turin, Galleria Civica d'Arte Moderna) that he exhibited at the annual shows of the Promotrice torinese (1884, Bonjour mon vieil ami; 1896, Preparation for exams; 1898, At the charity bank).
