Giulio Rosati, 1858 - Rome - 1917, specialised in eighteenth century costume pieces, comical
scenes of from the life of the clergy and Orientalist subjects. His preferred
medium was watercolour, though he also worked in oils.
Rosati
studied at the Academy of Rome. He was the pupil of several eminent artists, in
particular the poet and architect Francesco Podesti (1800-1895) and Dario
Querci (born 1831), a portrait and history painter from Messina. He also
studied with Luis Alvarez y Catala (1836-1901), director of the Prado Museum,
Madrid.
Rosati was one of a
large group of Italian Orientalist painters working in Rome at the end of the
nineteenth century. These artists emulated Mariano Fortuny y Marsal in his
skilful rendering of detail and bright colouring. This manner was particularly
popular with American and British collectors, many of whom purchased these
images as a memento of their travels in the Near East, a voyage very much in
vogue at the end of the last century.
Guilio
Rosati had a son Alberto who also became an artist. His manner is very much
indebted to his father, but he was not so prolific. More Giulio Rosati
