Brief Biography-Telemaco Signorini, the writer from Florence, was the son of Giovanni Signorini, a court painter who urged him to take up painting over literature. He painted landscapes and genre scenes in the style of the Florentine Micchiaioli group of which he was a founder member; they preferably painted outdoors with a technique using spots and patches. He visited Paris frequently and went to England with Giuseppe De Nittis. The advent of photography somewhat influenced him, which is evident in his Edinburgh street scene named ‘Leith.' |
