Mosè Bianchi Biography

Moses Bianchi (Monza, 13 October 1840 – Monza, 15 March 1904) was an Italian painter. Sometimes called the Moses Bianchi of Monza, it should not be confused with the Moses Bianchi of the homonymous and almost contemporary Lodi.

In 1867 he won with "The Shadow of Samuel," appearing to the retired "Augione" Saul, who financed his two-year study of 18th-century painting in Venice, Rome and Paris, where he taught the paintings of Meissonier and Fortuny. In 1869 he returned to Milan, where he presented his brothers on the battlefield, and to Brera, where he prayed emphatically on behalf of some young women for the salvation of their brothers who fought in the Third War of Independence, combining realism with rhetorical imagery of patriotic and religious sensibilities, achieved great success among the Milanese bourgeoisie. Consultant to the Brera Academy since 1871, today a fashion painter, in the Blessings of the House in 1870 he expressed a sketch of the genre such as "A good smoke" in 1872, and in 1877 the Principe Umberto Prize. In the Lapittrice of 1874, as in my greetings and music lessons, he immersed himself in the mannerisms of the new eighteenth-century genre, while he had the opportunity to present the master of portraiture in the portrait of Elisabetta Sottocasa, still winning the "Principe Umberto" prize for the portrait of the engineer Carlo Mira and the portrait by Luigi Galbiati in 1876. He began his activity as a fresco painter at the end of the seventies, positioning himself in the style of Tiepolo: from 1877 he was the cycle of frescoes in Villa Giovannilli in Lonigo in the Vicenza area, from 1883 to 1884 he was the decoration of the Royal Station of Monza, with the genius of the Savoy, and the decoration of Palazzo Turati in Milan in 1885.
