| Cei Cipriano (1864–1922) | ||||||||||
| Born in Biella, Cipriano entered the artistic world at a very young age, and his earliest works already revealed a marked aptitude for painting. He studied at the Academy of Lucca under Luigi Norfini and devoted himself mainly to genre painting, producing works that were widely praised and much sought after. He often chose lively and engaging subjects, many featuring playful scenes and children, though he also painted Madonnas. A prolific artist, he established a studio in Florence and produced works both in Italy and abroad. Cipriano first exhibited in Venice in 1884, followed by Florence in 1885, Venice again in 1887, Milan in 1894, 1897 and 1900, and at the Paris Salon in 1900. He later became painter to the Italian royal family. His final work was a portrait of Pope Benedict XV, commissioned by the Vatican. Cipriano died in Rome. | ||||||||||
