Carlo Raimondi (Bocche di Cattaro, December 24, 1809 - Parma, January 5, 1883) was an Italian engraver and painter, active mainly at Parma. ==Biography== Raimondi moved to Reggio Emilia as an infant, and lived there for 27 years. He studied in Reggio as a pupil of Prospero Minghetti, the studied with Giovanni Rocca and finally Paolo Toschi at Parma (1822-1828). He became in 1848 a docent teaching engraving at the Brera Academy in Milan, until he was recruited in 1854 to direct the School of Engraving at the Parmesan Academy, where he later succeeded Toschi. He worked by his own and in collaboration with Toschi, making wood engravings of masterpieces of the galleries of Parma, Turin, and Florence. In Parma, Raimondi gathered prominent pupils: Antonio Costa from the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice, Tommaso Aloysio Juvara from the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples, Ludovico Bigola from the Albertina Academy of Turin, Odoardo Eichens from the School of Fine Arts of Berlin. When the 1860 decree of the minister Luigi Carlo Farini united the Fine Art Academies of Parma, Modena, and Bologna, Parma was recognized as still being the premier school of engraving of the three. He also painted, mainly watercolors; again sometimes reproducing masterworks, but also portraits and genre works such as ''Canzone d’amore'' and ''Alla toilette'', exhibited at the 1852 mostra at the Academy of Fine Arts of Parma. Among his masterworks are his portraits of ''Toschi'' and ''Vittorio Emanuele II'', and his ''La Baccante'' from a painting of Annibale Carracci. Mostly worked in Parma. In the 1870 National Exposition of Fine Arts, he was awarded a personal merit medal.〔(Bioblioteche of Parma ), short biography.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carlo Raimondi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
