APPIANI, ANDREA (1754-1817)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 222 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
APPIANI, ANDREA (1754-1817) , the best fresco painter of his age, was born at
Milan
 . He was made pensioned artist to the kingdom of Italy by
Napoleon
 , but lost his allowance after the events of 1814 and fell into poverty. Correggio was his model, and his best pieces, which are in the
church
  of Santa Maria presso San Celso and the royal palace at
Milan
 , almost rival those of his
great
  master. He also painted
Napoleon
  and the
chief
  personages of his court. Among the most graceful of his oil-paintings are his "
Venus
  and Love," and " Rinaldo in the
Garden
  of Armida." He is known as " the elder," to distinguish him from his
great
 -nephew
Andrea
 
Appiani
  (1817-1865), an historical painter at Rome. Other painters of the same name were Niccolo
Appiani
  (fl. 1510) and Francesco Appiani (1704-1792).
