Alberto Issel<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alberto Issel (Genoa, 1848 – 1926) was an Italian painter, designer, and entrepreneur.<\/p>\n

He trained in Florence during his youth, studying from life with Karl Mark\u00f2 and becoming familiar with Fattori’s work, sharing military subjects and a taste for small horizontal canvases, as well as Rome.<\/p>\n

He soon joined the Genoese Scuola dei Grigi with Avenda\u00f1o, D\u2019Andrade, Musso, and was led by Tammar Luxoro.<\/p>\n

Around 1870, in Rome, he closely encountered Mariano Fortuny\u2019s glazed painting.<\/p>\n

Due to an eye illness, he had to abandon painting and focus on applied arts.<\/p>\n

In 1880, he opened a well-known shop on Via Roma in Genoa, with the help of his son Arturo and Aristide Olgiati for design.<\/p>\n

Alongside producing style furniture, Issel created a series of Art Nouveau-inspired pieces and successfully exhibited in Paris in 1900 and in Turin in 1902.<\/p>\n

An interesting work is the elegant Liberty-style lounge of the Wolfsoniana, showcasing the artist\u2019s creative versatility: a walnut lounge with refined floral fabrics for the upholstery and colorful lacquers for the carved wooden vegetative motifs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
