Virgilio Ripari (1843 – April 11, 1902)〔(Galleria d'Arte Moderna, Milan ) dates.〕) was an Italian painter, mainly depicting genre scenes of women and flowers. His style is described as a late romantic, often depicting nuns and ''scene galanti'' (antique costume genre). ==Biography== Ripari was born in Asola, Province of Mantua, to a peasant family so financially constrained, that they had to place him in an orphanage. Aided by local figures, the town of Asola granted him a stipend to attend the Brera Academy, where he won a number of medals.〔(''Dizionario degli Artisti Italiani Viventi: pittori, scultori, e Architetti'' ), by Angelo de Gubernatis. Tipe dei Successori Le Monnier, 1889, page 417-418.〕 There he studied under Giuseppe Bertini and Raffaele Casnedi.〔( L'Asolano article on Ripari ).〕 In 1866, he volunteered for the Italian armies, and fought in the Tyrol. After the war, he displayed at the Exhibition ''una prima volta'' and two portraits painted ''al vero'', and a larger than life canvas: ''Il bagno pompeiano''. He resided in Milan as an adult. He painted a number of paintings in oil and watercolors for the Queen of England. In 1872 at the Exposition of Milan, he displayed: ''Passeggio nel giardino''; ''Le rose''; and a portrait. In 1883 at Milan, he exhibited: ''Buon giorno''; ''I fiori for the sacra''; ''Prima neve''; and ''Per l'onomastico of the padrona''. In 1884 at the Exposition of Turin, he displayed ''Peccato e preghiera''. Ripari sent to the 1886 Exhibition of Milan: ''Studio''; ''Venditori di frutta''; ''Pittrici moderne''; ''Furto innocente''. To the 1887 Exposition of Venice, Ripari sent: ''Prima of the Scuola''; ''Fiori per tutti''. At the 1889 Exposition of Fine Arts in Milan, he displayed: ''Dalle valli al monte''; ''Al fonte''; ''Amenità''; and ''Portrait of bambina''. The Galleria d'Arte Moderna of Milan has a number of his works, including ''Alla finestra'' 1850 ''Il mese di Maria'' (1875); ''Il getto dei fiori'' (1850); ''Linda e Peo'' (1850); ''Peccato e preghiera'' (1882); ''Ricordi'' (1850); ''Il giorno'' (1850); ''Fiori'' (1850).〔( GAM Milan ).〕 The contemporary critic, Virgilio Colombo, noted in Ripari the influence of Tranquillo Cremona, but with less iridescence and a more delicate brushstroke, and sharing more with Mosè Bianchi.〔Angelo de Gubernatis.〕 Later in life he focused on painting portraits.〔(Fondazione Tortona ) biography.〕 He died in Milan on April 11, 1902. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Virgilio Ripari」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
