Giuseppe Bonolis
Giuseppe Bonolis (January 1, 1800 – April 2, 1851) was an Italian painter, known for his portraits and historical canvases. He first trained with Muzio Muzii in Teramo, the city of his birth. He taught Calligraphy in the Royal College of Teramo, but in 1820 he was dismissed because he was suspected of seditious Carboneria connections. He moved to Naples in 1822, where he attended the Academy of Fine Arts, and studied under Giuseppe Cammarano. He became a teacher in various schools in that city. He married in 1832 one of his pupils Adelaide Mazza. Among his works are a ''Death of Abel'' (1837) displayed at the 1837 Exhibition of Fine Arts in Naples. ''Infancy of Bacchus'' and ''Marriage of Bacchus and Ariadne'' were exhibited both in 1841. Among his other canvases are ''The four gifts of Poets'' ; an ''Immaculate Conception'' for the private chapel of the Marchese Tommasi; ''St Paul''; ''Solon in the Aereopagus''; ''Coriolanus near the Volsci''; and a ''Charon transporting sou ...

Ritratto Di Gbonolis
A portrait is a painting, photograph, sculpture, or other artistic representation of a person, in which the face and its expressions are predominant. The intent is to display the likeness, personality, and even the mood of the person. For this reason, in photography a portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the painter or photographer, in order to most successfully engage the subject with the viewer. History Prehistorical portraiture Plastered human skulls were reconstructed human skulls that were made in the ancient Levant between 9000 and 6000 BC in the Pre-Pottery Neolithic B period. They represent some of the oldest forms of art in the Middle East and demonstrate that the prehistoric population took great care in burying their ancestors below their homes. The skulls denote some of the earliest sculptural examples of portraiture in the history of art. Historical portraitur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Painters From Naples
Painting is the practice of applying paint, pigment, color or other medium to a solid surface (called the "matrix" or "support"). The medium is commonly applied to the base with a brush, but other implements, such as knives, sponges, and airbrushes, can be used. In art, the term ''painting ''describes both the act and the result of the action (the final work is called "a painting"). The support for paintings includes such surfaces as walls, paper, canvas, wood, glass, lacquer, pottery, leaf, copper and concrete, and the painting may incorporate multiple other materials, including sand, clay, paper, plaster, gold leaf, and even whole objects. Painting is an important form in the visual arts, bringing in elements such as drawing, composition, gesture (as in gestural painting), narration (as in narrative art), and abstraction (as in abstract art). Paintings can be naturalistic and representational (as in still life and landscape painting), photographic, abstract, nar ...
