Filippo Palizzi ( 16 June 1818 –  11 September 1899)

Filippo Palizzi (Vasto (Chieti), 1818 – Naples 1899) was an Italian painter.

Biography

Filippo Palizzi moved to Naples in 1837 and enrolled at the Royal Institute of Fine Arts but withdrew after few months to attend the private school of the painter Giuseppe Bonolis. Contact with his brother Giuseppe, who moved to France in 1844, introduced him to the painting of the Barbizon School. He visited Paris on the occasion of the Universal Exhibition in 1855 and then went on to Holland and the Netherlands. Having returned to Paris in 1863, he concentrated on nature studies from life and took part in the Universal Exhibition of 1867, winning a gold medal. The following decade saw further work on the handling of light both in landscapes painted en plein air and in paintings of interiors. An advocate of the need to bring academic teaching up to date, he founded the Naples Società Promotrice di Belle Arti in 1861 together with Domenico Morelli and the Museo Artistico Industriale in 1878, being appointed director two years later.
