Luigi da Rios(1843-1892) | An Italian Genre Painter

Luigi da Rios, an Italian painter born in Ceneda, Vittorio Veneto, in 1843, left an indelible mark on the art world during his lifetime (1843 – February 1892). His artistic journey began at the prestigious Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, where he garnered numerous accolades for his exceptional talent and dedication.

In an effort to avoid conscription into the Austrian armies, Luigi sought refuge in Florence in May 1866. Following the resolution of the conflict, he returned to Venice, focusing his artistic prowess on painting portraits, genre scenes, and historical subjects.
