Biography:
Antonio Pasinetti was an Italian painter born in Montichiari, Italy in 1863 and died in Milan, Italy in 1940. He served his apprenticeship with the local painter Luigi Campini in Brescia and moved to Milan in 1880 to enroll at the Brera Academy. Dissatisfied with academic teaching, he moved to Verona to attend the school of the painter Napoleone Nani.
Artistic Career
Pasinetti specialized in landscape and portrait painting and settled definitively in Milan in 1889. He came into contact with the leading figures of the Lombard school of naturalism and shared a studio on Via Solferino with Paolo Troubetzkoy. He was established as a portrait painter with a middle-class clientele in Lombardy while continuing to paint landscapes during his frequent travels and stays in Italy and other countries, with a particular preference for Venice.
Artistic Style and Influences
Pasinetti's strongly naturalistic painting took a new course around 1925 as a result of contact with the Novecento Italiano movement. His work was influenced by the Italian art movements, including the Italian Renaissance and Neoclassicism. Pasinetti's paintings can be found in various museums, including the Museo del Novecento in Milan.
Exhibitions and Legacy
Pasinetti took part in the major national and international exhibitions from 1884 on. Giovanni Treccani degli Alfieri organized a show of his work in Milan in 1942, two years after his death.
