Painting "view Of Santa Scolastica, Subiaco" - Achille Michallon
Artist: Achille Etna Michallon
Oil on canvas painted by Achille Etna Michallon (1796–1822), signed “Michallon 1812” (lower left and on the back of the canvas).
This painting depicts people bathing at the foot of the mountains surrounding Subiaco, Italy, notably the Santa Scolastica Monastery, a recurring subject for the artist during his stays in Italy.
Despite the brevity of his career and his life, Michallon occupies a pivotal place in the history of plein air painting, a fact highlighted in a landmark exhibition at the Louvre in 1994.
First winner of the Prix de Rome in 1817.
