Eugenio Andreasi Biography
Eugenio Andreasi was born in Lecco in 1859.
He moved to Venice very early, where he began to portray the lagoon city through watercolors, paintings and animated landscape studies. His most famous works include the "Grand Canal", exhibited in Milan in 1886, the "Fondamenta dei mori", exhibited in Bologna in 1888, the "Fondamenta Trapolin" and the "Riva degli Schiavoni", exhibited in Milan in 1890. In addition to landscapes, he also painted interiors, making them lively with the presence of human figures, as in the Interior of San Marco, exhibited in Milan in 1888.
Andreasi also explored other territories, such as Valsassina, the Bergamo and Valtellina valleys, as well as the surroundings of his hometown. He also painted in Valsassina, in the Bergamo and Valtellina valleys, as well as in the surroundings of his city of origin; he worked in Verona (Piazza delle Erbe) and in Milan (Sala degli arazzi in the Palazzo de' Clerici in Milan) and on the Interior of Sant'Ambrogio in Milan.
Andreasi's works are characterized by the use of bright colours, in particular the different shades of ocher, which give his works an unmistakable imprint. The date of his death is not known with certainty, but it is assumed that it occurred before 1941.
