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 took part in Milanese exhibitions at the Permanente and at Brera. A landscape painter, he is drawn to lagoon views and works in Burano and on the other islands. He is later drawn to Brittany, where he moves and works for a long time. In Italy he collaborates regularly with the Ponterosso Gallery in Milan.
Rossana Bossaglia writes, in the catalog foreword to the solo exhibition at Galleria Ponte Rosso in 1993: "Brambati has behind him a naturalism with clear-cut traits, thus vital and light, 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 a landscape animation, with figures sketched rapidly up to the threshold of the silhouette, in the postwar period encounters the great lesson of neorealism; and from it derives a simplification and strengthening of signature, which keeps Brambati from the temptation – easy for a such a gifted artist, with a keen gaze and a quick hand – toward illustrative pleasures."
