biography
Not to be confused with the Mannerist painter "Il Pellegrini", Domenico Pellegrini completed his early studies in Venice and then Rome, where he was a pupil of Domenico Corvi. In 1792 he left for London, where he began attending the Royal Academy of Arts, encouraged by his friend and mentor Francesco Bartolozzi, which he dedicated a portrait.
He lived for a long time in the British capital where he worked and exhibited until 1812, when he moved to Lisbon, always on the advice of Bartolozzi, who already lived there.
After some time he returned to Italy, where he worked mainly in Rome and Milan.
Among its major products are reminiscent of those made in the cycle of so-called bricks of San Carlo, which also contributed to other artists, and which even today are exposed in public annually in the Duomo of Milan between November and December, during the celebrations in honor of St. Charles Borromeo.
