Greetings to all! We continue to get acquainted with the works of artists and their autobiographies. Vincenzo Campuccini. Italian painter and graphic designer of the academic direction of the period of neoclassicism. This I take from Wikipedia. Campuccini was born in Rome in 1771 in a family of coal traders. Materially supported by his older brother Pietro, the restorer of paintings, he began to study painting in the workshop of Domenico Cori. His first painting work, Noe's Sacrifice, he completed at the age of 14. In 1798, due to political events, the artist left Rome and went for a while to Florence. Upon returning to the Eternal City, Campuccini in 1802 was accepted as a member of the Academy of St. Luke. And already in 1806, despite his young age, he became its principal. In 1803, Pope Pius VII appointed Campuccini the director of the mosaic workshop at the Cathedral of St. Peter. Campuccini painted parade portraits of noble streets and paintings suitable for their historical plots. He was caressed by power. The artist was honored and awarded. In 1810, he visited Munich and Paris. In 1814, the Pope appointed Campuccini an inspector for the conservation of public paintings in Rome. Together with his peers Ciccaniaro, Sabatelli and Penvinutti, he founded a private school of painting of the naked nature. For many years, Vincenzo Campuccini devoted himself to copying the paintings of the masters of the Roman and Bolognese school of painting. He painted altar images for the Roman churches. Campuccini is the author of the famous portrait of the sculptor Bertone Torvalds. Pope Pius VIII, as soon as he was elected in 1829, wanted to get a portrait from Campuccini, which he appointed a baron. And the next year he entrusted him with the reorganization of the Vatican Pinacoteca. Campuccini collaborated with the engraver Tommaso Pirolli. He died in Rome on September 2, 1844. His son Giovanni Battista sold the collection of paintings collected by Campuccini to the Duke of Northumbria. And for the money earned from the sale, he acquired a castle in 1855. In addition to the works of Campuccini, some paintings from his collection are kept in the castle. Autographs, archaeological finds, collections of expensive weapons.
