Oil on canvas board, early 20th century
Poma Silvio
(Trescore Balneario, 1840 – Turate, 1932)
Silvio Poma was an Italian painter considered one of the greatest landscape painters of Lombard Realism in the second half of the 19th century.
Born in Trescore Balneario on January 8, 1840, the painter experienced the cultural and artistic movements of that era firsthand, although he was also very active in other fields, especially the military.
At the age of six, he moved to Milan with his family—his father was politically active as a government commissioner for Austria. There he completed his studies, and after graduating he pursued a military career, actively taking part in the Second Italian War of Independence alongside his brother Giacomo, on the side of the Piedmontese army.
His military career was very important during the first phase of his life. After Italian unification, he became a second lieutenant in the campaign against brigandage.
It was an illness—malaria—that forced him to leave the military. In the Tremiti Islands, he began his first artistic training by drawing landscapes, the same landscapes and places he had the opportunity to see firsthand. Although he later reenlisted for the Third Italian War of Independence, Silvio Poma decided to leave the army for good in 1869, marking the beginning of the artistic phase of his life.
He continued to draw and study art, later taking part in exhibitions such as the one at Brera, where he presented two oil paintings, while continuing his studies as a self-taught artist.
Silvio Poma was passionate about Realism, and he closely followed Gianbattista Lelli, considered one of the most famous masters of Realist landscape painting. However, Poma’s landscapes are appreciated in all their historical and literary particularities, as his works attest.
Success came at the age of 36, when an important phase of the painter’s life finally began, distinguished by his exhibition skills, which earned him recognition at several exhibitions, including the Fine Arts Exhibition in Naples as well as those at Brera.
The painter died in Turate in 1932.
