12 August 1826, Venice (Italy) - 21 October 1887, Venice (Italy)
The Italian painter Giulio Carlini completed his artistic training at the Academy in Venice between 1845 and 1850, specialising in the genre scenes and portraiture which would lead to his renown. His portrait subjects included famous historical figures, such as Austria’s General Radetzky and France’s Emperor Napoleon III on horseback.
He became well-known in his role as an official painter for the Kingdom of Italy and through his history paintings depicting Venice’s past. He was a member of the Accademia di belle arti di Venezia, of which he was Consigliere from 1873 onwards, and a member of the Accademia Raffaello Sanzio in Urbino from 1879 onwards. Numerous studies were created as a result of his travels through Belgium, Holland, France, Luxembourg, Germany and Austria. He was a well-rounded, inventive painter, who often resorted to historic themes in his works.
