From Askart: Hermann David Salomon Corrodi was a 19th century Italian painter. He was born in Frascati (an alternate source lists his birthplace as Zurich), and lived for many years in Rome. Corrodi studied at the Accademia di S. Luca under his father, Salomon Corrodi (1810-1892) and in Paris (1872). He received commissions for history paintings from the British royal family and was acquainted with most of the European royalty of the time, including a friendship with Queen Victoria. He traveled widely in the Far East, including Egypt, Syria, Cyprus and Istanbul, which provided the subject matter for many of his paintings. He is the brother of Arnold Corrodi. Originally a landscape painter in the Academic style, he also did much of his work in the Orientalism style of the 19th century. In 1893 he was knighted 'Accademico di Merito' by the Accademia di San Luca where he had been a professor. Corrodi's work is in the Frye Art Museum in Seattle, WA, the Dahesh Museum of Art in New York, Qatar National Museum, and Museo di Roma in Trastevere.
