About the Item
Luigi Mussini Portrait Of Dominican Father 1860 taken frontally, half-length, with dark green background. Dressed in a buttoned smock and a white cassock rendered with a masterful brushstroke with iridescent, silky effect. This is a middle-aged, almost balding father, his face turned slightly to the right, his gaze is intense, stern or otherwise pensive as denounced by his furrowed brows and tight lips. The simplicity in setting and the icastic rendering bring the portrait of the religious man back into the purist Tuscan painting culture of the mid-19th century.
The work is painted in oil on canvas, in good conservative condition, comes from a private collection in Milan and is presented within a beautiful wooden frame carved with shells, scrolls, and gilded mecha.
On the back is an inscription with author's signature and date: L. Mussini in vitarciano? 8bre 1860.
Luigi Mussini (Berlin 1813 - Siena 1888) studied at the Accademia delle Belle Arti in Florence, where he was a disciple of Pietro Benvenuti and Giuseppe Bezzuoli.
In 1840 he won a boarding school in Rome, where he stayed for four years studying painting. He was inspired by the masters of the 15th century and opened a school in Florence in 1844: his disciples were Silvestro Lega and Michele Gordigiani.
In 1848 he left the brushes to participate as a volunteer in the First War of Independence. Disillusioned with the unhappy outcome he went to Paris where he attended Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Hyppolite Flandrin, William Haussoullier and other artists.
In 1851 he moved to Siena, where he became director of the Academy of Fine Arts, a position he held for 37 years until his death. At the Sienese academy he was a teacher of, among others, Angelo Visconti, Amos Cassioli, Cesare Maccari, Giuseppe Catani Chiti, Pietro Aldi and Alessandro Franchi, and Antonio Ridolfi. He married Luigia Piaggio, who died in childbirth, giving birth to his only daughter, Luisa, who also became a painter.
