Biography: Ippolito Caffi was an Italian painter of architectural subjects and seascapes or urban "vedute". He was born at Belluno, Italy to James and Mary Castellani. He studied in Belluno and then in Padua with his cousin the painter Pietro Paoletti, who worked in conjunction with another artist from Belluno in neoclassical style. He studied and produced his first work at the Accademia in Venice where he was able to know the Venetian painters of the eighteenth century. His Rialto Bridge is an example of this period. In 1832, Caffi moved to Rome, and in early 1833, opened his own studio, devoting himself to painting and drawing from life. He made some reputation by his treatise on perspective, as well as by his investigations on Roman archaeology. Domiciled in Rome, he often moved to other cities to exhibit his works. In Rome he made a trip in a hot air balloon, which influenced him to paint two pictures almost romantic and also from a unique perspective. In 1843, he visited Athens, Turkey, Palestine and Egypt, returning in 1844 with many sketches and paintings. Caffi was highly political and in Venice in 1848 joined revolutionary movements for independence. This activity led to his being captured in 1848 and detained during that year. In 1849, he lived in Genoa and Switzerland; in 1850 in Turin; and then in London during a series of trips. In 1858, he was back in Venice and in more trouble for political activities as he was convicted in 1860 of "the crime of public violence" and imprisoned for three months at San Severo. After his release, he went to Naples, joined the successful army of independence of Garibaldi, and then returned to Venice to resume painting. Of Ippolito Caffi, it was written that throughout his life he managed to keep a high enough standard of living by selling his paintings, some replicated many times, to European nobility, including the Prince of Austria. Although inspired by models of eighteenth-century Venice, he was able to modernize the vocabulary of pictorial views, by exploring new points of view as in night scenes and with unusual topics such as the flight of the balloon. Although he was much appreciated in life, Caffi had to wait for the mid-1960s to be seriously considered by art historians. With the major exhibition in Venice to celebrate the centenary of his death, appreciation of his painting began to grow. His paintings were very numerous and some of it was lost.Important Message Regarding Payments : All invoices that exceed the amount of $ 2000 including the buyer premium, must make the payment through check or wire transfer, if we receive the payment through the platform, the money will be reimbursed automatically to your cardCondition
