Giuseppe Barison (italian 1853-1931) Garden Scene In Front Of The Dome

An Impressionist scene in a garden before a monumental dome, probably in Rome. The painting is by the highly regarded Italian artist Giuseppe Barison. Giuseppe Barison (1853 Triest - 1931 Triest).

He studied in Venice and Vienna; here, he was taught by Eduard von Enghert. From Triest, he received a scholarship and went to Rome, where he lived from 1880 to 1882. There, he met Mariano Fortuny. From 1882 to 1897, Barison lived and worked in Venice. He initially also turned to history painting (among other works, "Isabella Orsini and Her Page," Triest), but quickly shifted his focus to genre painting. His paintings were exhibited in Venice (Un dono del fidanzato, 1882; Venice Fish Market, 1890), Milan (Pescheria A Rialto, 1886 [Premio del Principe Umberto]), Berlin (1884, 1886), Munich (1888, 1900, 1901, 1907), London (1889) and Vienna (scene of road to Venice, 1885; L´ anello di fidanzamento, 1888; Cronaca allegra, 1888; the old model, 1909). 1911 he won the Concorso for the equipment of the newly built Triestiner Cassa di Risparmio; In 1912, he created two paintings, "Costruttori" and "Mercanti." His painting remained uninfluenced by the new decorative art movements of the early 20th century (by Umberto Veruda, Arturo Rietti, Arturo Fittke, and Isidoro Grünhut, among other artists), still adhering to 19th-century academicism.
