Ippolito Caffi | View of the Castel Sant'Angelo, Rome, 1843-1857

Ippolito Caffi (1809-1866) modernized the veduta vocabulary inherited from Canaletto, selecting new points of view, and he showed an interest in nocturnal scenes with artificial or lunar illumination, in recording the effects of light and atmosphere at particular times, and in chronicling unusual events such as eclipses and balloon flights.

His most famous work, the Last Hour of Carnevale in Rome (The Candles) (1837; Venice, Ca' Pesaro), displays the originality of his style.

Romantic paintings by the Garmashs

The Garmashs incredible talent is only matched by their love and career stories.

Mr. and Mrs. Garmash are considered two of the finest Romantic Impressionists of our day.

In similar fashion to the determination of his artwork, Mr. Garmash courted his future wife, after seeing her for but a moment, by painting her image all over her hometown while she slept.

Ms. Garmash, born Inessa Kitaichik, immediately recognized the passion with which this man cared so dearly and married him shortly thereafter.

Ippolito Caffi between Venice and the Orient

150 years ago during the Battle of Lissa, Ippolito Caffi (1809-1866) lost his life on the sinking ship Re d’Italia, on which he had embarked to document the events of the war through his swift and accurate drawings.

Caffi, born in Belluno but Venetian by choice, was an extraordinary painter and reporter, a restless observer of society and a convinced patriot. 150 years ago (almost a sign of fate!) the Veneto and Venice were annexed to Italy.
