Enrico Pollastrini
\n(Livorno, 1817 \u2013 Florence, 1876)<\/p>\n

He was born to a humble family in Livorno and began his training with Vincenzo de Bonis, Giuseppe Bezzuoli, and Pietro Benvenuti at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence<\/strong>, where he was appointed professor in 1845.<\/p>\n

Over time, he was assigned to the chair of drawing, the chair of painting, and finally, director.<\/p>\n

After a few biblical works, he produced his first history painting, “The Death of Duke Alessandro de’ Medici”<\/em>, in 1840.<\/p>\n

History painting remained a constant feature of his activity until a few years after his death, as a series of sketches from 1873 show.<\/p>\n

However, he also devoted himself to other subjects, such as genre scenes, religious scenes, and contemporary events.<\/p>\n

His painting is typically academic, in the vein of the sixteenth-century tradition, with technical skill, fine preparatory drawing, glazed colors, accurate chiaroscuro, and precise modeling.<\/p>\n

His works are in the churches of Saints Peter and Paul in Livorno: “The Immaculate Conception<\/em>“, 1857, and “Saint Lawrence distributing the gifts of the Church to the poor in the catacomb<\/em>“, 1862.<\/p>\n

He died in Florence in 1876.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
