Description

Belonging to a family of artists and grandson of the scientist Antonio Stoppani, Giovanni Battista Todeschini can be considered the most important Lecco painter of the nineteenth century.
He enrolled at the Brera Academy, but completed his self-taught training by traveling a lot and studying the old masters.

Starting from the Eighties, his stylistic code is outlined, as an interpreter of landscapes of the territory of Lecco, his hometown, but also of Como and views of Liguria.
Around the middle of this decade, Todeschini began to devote himself assiduously to the portrait, with a series of preparatory studies and drawings: the Portrait of Antonio Stoppani (1891) and the Portrait of Lucia Stoppani (1889) his mother and sister of Stoppani are very famous. portrayed sitting in three quarters, with the left hand inside a sleeve, lying on the wide skirt of white fabric. The face is framed by a rich fur collar, which contrasts with the light color of the underlying lace.

The artist also experiments with the fresco technique, working with Giuseppe Mentessi, in the loggia of the Palazzo della Permanente in Milan.

Location: room 3
