Giuseppe Ferrari 1843-1905

Overview

Giuseppe Ferrari is considered one of the most important Italian landscape painters of his time. After completing academic studies at the Accademia di San Luca in Rome under Alessandro Marini, he traveled to Africa and the Middle East, where he found inspiration for numerous landscape paintings. In 1877, he moved to London, where he studied and absorbed the art of Constable and Turner.

Best known for his views of the Roman countryside, he founded the group "XXV della campagna romana" alongside artists such as Enrico Coleman and Cesare Pascarella. In the later years of his life, he also produced portraits.

He exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in London in 1877 and 1883. Ferrari also participated in the first Venice Biennale in 1895, as well as in those of 1905 and 1922 (posthumously).
