Antonio Oberto was an Italian painter born in Baselica Bologna in 1872. He attended the Civic School of Painting for ten years under the guidance of Pietro Michis. In 1897, he participated in the Brera Triennale and, again in Milan, he exhibited in 1901 at the Società Permanente di Belle Arti. Oberto's pictorial production did not distance itself from the Lombard post-impressionist tradition. His main subjects are views of Pavia and landscape glimpses of Ticino, represented with late nineteenth-century angles and with rapid and vibrant brushstrokes. Oberto was also entrusted with many public tasks, such as the decoration of the new pavilions of the Monumental Cemetery. Antonio Oberto died in 1954 in his beloved Pavia, leaving splendid examples of his art.
