Prospero Piatti
Prospero Piatti (c. 1842 – 15 July 1902) was an Italian painter known for depiction of Neo-Pompeian and sacred subjects. Biography He was born in Ferrara and died in Rome. As a boy, his family had moved to Rome and he learned his trade with Alessandro Mantovani, who was engaged in frescoing loggias of the Vatican. He then studied at the Accademia di San Luca with Tommaso Minardi and, for a year, with Friedrich Overbeck. This imbued him with the fading styles of Purismo circulating in Rome. In 1865, he gained one of the commissions to decorate San Paolo fuori le Mura, specifically the chapel of the choir, where he depicted the ''Life of Pope Gregory VII''. He painted for rooms in the Villa Torlonia in Rome. He painted an altarpiece depicting the ''Baptism of Christ'' (1879) for the Cathedral of Ferrara. He also frescoed for the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Buon Consiglio in Genazzano. In 1894, he painted a triptych of the Adoration for the apse of the church of the Addolorata in Mos ...

Biblioteca Nacional Of Chile
The National Library of Chile () is the national library of Chile. It is located on the Avenida Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins in Santiago, Chile, Santiago, in a building completed in 1925, though its history reaches to the early nineteenth century before it was relocated to its current home. History The Biblioteca Nacional is, together with the Instituto Nacional and a small number of institutions, one of the first institutions created by the newly formed Republic of Chile in the Patria Vieja period. In the newspaper ''El Monitor Araucano'', a ''Proclama de Fundación'' ("Proclamation of Foundation") of the Biblioteca Nacional was published on August 19, 1813. With this vision, a call was made to all the citizens to submit their books for the formation of one great public library.

Painters From Ferrara
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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
