Antonio Mancini

Kingdom of Italy · 1852–1930

Antonio Mancini was an Italian painter. == Biography == Mancini was born in Rome, Papal States, and showed precocious ability as an artist. At the age of twelve, he was admitted to the Institute of Fine Arts in Naples, where he studied under Domenico Morelli (1823, 1901), a painter of historical scenes who favoured dramatic chiaroscuro and vigorous brushwork, and Filippo Palizzi. Mancini developed quickly under their guidance, and in 1872, he exhibited two paintings at the Paris Salon. Mancini worked at the forefront of the Verismo movement, an indigenous Italian response to 19th-century Realist aesthetics.
