Ippolito Caffi
Italy 1809 - 1866
Ippolito Caffi, an Italian painter renowned for his architectural subjects, seascapes, and urban vedute, was born in Belluno. His artistic journey began at the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, where he honed his skills and received recognition for his vedute paintings by 1830. Caffi's reputation grew further when he relocated to Rome, where he established himself as an authority on perspective and Roman archaeology through his treatises and investigations.
In 1843, Caffi embarked on a journey that took him to Greece and the East, visiting Athens, Constantinople, Syria, Egypt, and Malta. This trip was a transformative experience for him, as it provided him with inspiration for his future works. One of his earliest works to garner widespread attention was "Carnival at Venice," which was exhibited in Paris in 1846. This painting was praised for its brilliant rendering of light, demonstrating Caffi's mastery of the medium.
Other notable works by Caffi include "Panorama of Rome from Monte Mario," "Isthmus of Suez," and "Close of the Carnival at Rome." However, his life was not without its challenges. In 1848, he became involved in revolutionary movements in Venice, which forced him to flee to Piedmont. Despite this setback, he never gave up on his artistic ambitions, and his legacy continues to inspire generations of artists.
