About the Artist

Luigi Nono

1850 – 1918

Italian painter. He studied in Venice under Pompeo Molmenti (1819-1894), and his early works are in the style of the Venetian Macchiaioli. In later years, he painted landscapes and portraits as well as highly successful pathetic and religious subjects, where his initial verism shaded into a conventional melancholy in the manner of Francesco Paolo Michetti (1851-1929).
