Luigi Brambati was an Italian painter and engraver. He trained in Milan where, in 1945, he attended the Castello Art School. On this occasion he befriended many other artists of Lombard vedutismo of the 20th century, such as Fedeli, Consadori, Castellani, Moro, Labò, Barbieri and Novello.
He participated in Milan exhibitions at La Permanente and Brera. A landscape painter, he is drawn to lagoon views and works in Burano and in the other islands. He is later drawn to Brittany, where he moves and works for a long time. In Italy he collaborates permanently with the Ponterosso Gallery in Milan.
Rossana Bossaglia writes, in the catalog presentation for the solo show at Galleria Ponte Rosso in 1993: "Brambati has behind him naturalism with clear, therefore vital and light strokes, but at the same time the tendency, inherited from the twentieth century, toward a rigorous and summary synthesis of images, especially in the figures. This double characterization, which often translates into landscape animation, with characters quickly sketched up to the threshold of silhouette, in the postwar period meets the great lesson of neorealism; and yields a simplification and strengthening of signs, which keeps Brambati from the temptation—easy, in an artist so gifted, with a keen gaze and a quick hand—toward illustrative pleasantness."
