Who was Pio Joris?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Pio Joris was born in Rome in 1843. <\/span><\/p>\n

He was a painter and engraver and belonged to the Society of Watercolor Artists in Rome created by Ettore Roesler Franz and Cipriani.<\/span><\/p>\n

Early years<\/b><\/h2>\n

Joris studied at Rome\u2019s Istituto di Belle Arti from 1855 to 1861, then attended the Accademia di San Luca for one year.<\/p>\n

Seeing works by Domenico Morelli and Filippo Palizzi at the 1861 National Exhibition in Florence encouraged him to study nature and paint from life.<\/p>\n

Encounter with Mariano Fortuny<\/b><\/h2>\n

Pio Joris met Mariano Fortuny<\/strong> in Rome, and the Spanish painter\u2019s work strongly influenced him.<\/p>\n

Joris worked with the Paris art dealer Adolphe Goupil<\/strong> from 1868 to 1875, probably through Fortuny\u2019s introduction.<\/p>\n

Paris and international recognition<\/h2>\n

During his visits to Paris, Joris became familiar with Impressionist painting. His work from this period shows affinities with that of Giuseppe De Nittis.<\/p>\n

Pio Joris traveled to England and Spain whose distinctive features he would later evoke in his works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1869 he received a gold medal in Munich for his painting Una mattina di domenica fuori Porta del Popolo (<\/span>A Sunday Morning Outside the Porta del Popolo<\/span><\/i>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Joris met with success in Paris in 1875 and 1876, and in Vienna in 1873.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

At another Munich Exposition in 1879, he received second prize and was decorated as a first-class knight in the Bavarian Order of St. Michael.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pio Joris and Rome<\/h2>\n

Pio Joris represented picturesque aspects of Rome in traditional scenes of daily life and religious ceremonies like the great <\/span>La processione delle ammantate di San Pietro<\/span><\/i>\u00a0and Il gioved\u00ec<\/em> <\/span>Santo nelle chiese di Roma<\/span><\/i> (Holy Thursday in the Churches of Rome),<\/span><\/p>\n

These paintings earned him a gold medal and the Legion of Honor in Paris in 1900.<\/p>\n

He painted Rome\u2019s ancient Via Flaminia in 1879 and 1903. He also tried his hand, with less success, at large historical pictures like <\/span>La fuga del Papa Eugenio IV <\/span><\/i>(The Escape of Pope Eugene IV, 1883) <\/span>now in the collection of the Galleria Nazionale d\u2019Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Rome<\/a>.<\/p>\n

His numerous works can be found at the Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, Palazzo Braschi, the Accademia di San Luca, and many private collections in Europe and America.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joris was also a professor, a member of various academies, and an honorary member of the watercolor associations of Brussels, The Hague, and Rome.\u00a0 He died in Rome in 1921 and the following year a posthumous exhibition was held of his works, including many watercolors.<\/span><\/p>\n
