Biography

He established himself as a painter in Milan, where he taught at the Brera Academy. He exhibited a tryptich of the Madonna at the Biennale in Venice of 1897.[1] Described as having a mystic suavity and spiritual grace [2] many of his painters center upon an emotive representation of motherhood. Innocente Cantinotti and Antonio Sant'Elia were among his pupils.
