AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Mosè Bianchi (Monza, 13 October 1840 – Monza, 15 March 1904). ( Title Scherzo ) on the back, the label numbered 93, probably some exhibition held. Measurements with frame cm 93x82, his original frame
(outside the European Community shipments the timings vary from 15-20 working days for export documentation. Any duties and customs taxes are borne by the buyer)
................................................................................................................................................................................
Son of the drawing teacher and modest painter Giosuè and Luigia Meani, brother of the less famous painter Gerardo Bianchi, after completing technical studies he enrolled in 1856 at the Brera Academy in Milan where he studied under Schmidt, Bisi, Zimmermann, Sogni and the director Giuseppe Bertini.
He had as fellow students Federico Faruffini, Tranquillo Cremona, Daniele Ranzoni and Filippo Carcano, with whom he would share for several years the Milan studio in via San Primo.
He participated in the war of independence of 1859.
Beginnings of his career
His first seven paintings belong to the romantic thread, following Bertini's indications: the Portrait of Simonetta Galimberti and the Portrait of Giacinta Galimberti of 1861, kept in the Municipal Museums of Monza, the archpriest Stefano Guandeca accuses the archbishop of Milan Anselmo Pusterla of sacrilegious treachery, 1862, in a private collection, and the Conspiracy of Pontida, 1862, exhibited at Brera in 1862 and 1863.
He finished his studies in 1864 and received the commission for the Communion of San Luigi, for the parish church of Sant'Albino in Monza. He turned to naturalistic representation, within the narrative taste of the brothers Domenico and Gerolamo Induno, in works such as A Chorus Lesson, The Eve of the Festival, 1864, The Clearing of the Altar, 1865, which drew critics' attention to his painting; but with Cleopatra and The Lady of Monza, of 1865, he falls back into the melodramatic genre of the romantic pseudo-historic painting.
