Natale Schiavone (Chioggia, April 25, 1777 – Venice, April 15, 1858) was an Italian painter and engraver, mainly depicting history and portraits. Many of his paintings depict seductive nubile women. ==Biography== Schiavoni is claimed by Perkins to be a distant descendant of Andrea Schiavoni, the Venetian painter. In Venice, he trained with Francesco Maggiotto, and later came under the influence of the Neoclassicism. He was peripatetic, traveling in 1800 to Trieste, and in 1810 to Milan, where he painted Eugene Beauharnais and the royal family. In Milan, he was able to frequent the studios of Appiani, Longhi, and Sabatelli.〔(Istituto Matteucci ), biography.〕 In 1816, Schiavoni was invited by the Austrian emperor to Vienna, to become the official portratist for the court. From there, he returned to Venice in 1821, where he became professor at the Academy of Fine Arts. He resided in the Palazzo Giustinian on the Grand Canal.〔(Seeing Europe With Famous Authors (Complete) ) by Various.〕 He was awarded a gold medal at an exhibition in Brussels. Among his works are a ''Penitent Magdalen'' (1852) once on display in the National Gallery of Berlin; a painting on the same subject at the Vienna Museum; a ''Bacchante'', once on display at the Stadel Gallery in Frankfort; and an ''Adoration of Shepherds'', once on display at the British Museum, London.〔(Cyclopedia of Painters and Paintings ), Volume 4, by Charles Callahan Perkins, page 130.〕 He was described by Pietro Selvatico as ''in coloring, highly skillful, but in shading, inimitably supreme''.〔(Natale e Felice Schiavoni, vita, opere, tempi ), by Luigi G. Sernagiotto, Tipografia Municipal of Gaetano Longo, Venice (1881), page, Epigraph, ''in ogni parte del colorito valentissimo; ma nell'ombre poi inimitabilmente sommo.''〕 His sons Felice (1803–68) and Giovanni (1804–48) were also painters of mythology and history.〔CC Perkins, page 130.〕〔( Catalogue of the Masterpieces of Engraving and Etching Collected by the Late Late General Brayton Ives. ), by American Art Association Fourth Session, Tuesday Evening, April 13th.〕 Among his followers was Antonio Zuccaro (1815–1892).〔(Museo Morpurgo ), ''Ritratto di Fanciulla'' by Zuccaro.〕 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「Natale Schiavoni」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
