Description
Federico Andreotti (1847 - 1930) Italian
Watercolor on Paper
Measure 25"in H x 15 1/2"in W and 32"in H x 22"in W with frame
Known for: Historical figurative and genre scene painting
Biography: Frederico Andreotti was born in Florence on March 6, 1847 and received his artistic training at the Academy in Florence. There he studied with Enrico Pollastrini (1817-1876), the President of the Academy, and Angiolo Tricca (1817-1884). His academic studies prepared him well for his chosen subject matter - historical figurative works set in the 16th and 17th centuries. The late 19th century saw a resurgence of interest in this period of elegance and many artists, including Toudouze & Moreau, in France, Marcus Stone, in England, and Madrazo, in Spain, also looked to satisfy the growing need for these works. Andreotti's paintings were sought after by American and European collectors alike and during the late 19th century he received an important commission from the King of Italy. While little is known about his exhibition history in Florence, he did show a number of paintings at the Royal Academy in London from 1879 - 1883; including: Her First Exhibit (1879); A Happy Father of Twins (1881); A Village Maestro (1882) and From the Wrong Cask (1883). Andreotti combined his technical precision, learned in his anatomy classes at the Academy, with the new theories on colour and technique that were being explored by the Impressionists. His paintings often feature large figures created with a colourful palette and open brush stroke, while keeping true to the academic traditions of anatomical correctness.
