Life
His parents were Giuseppe Maccari and Carolina Mannucci. He attended the Collegio Tolomei in Siena, among others with Amos Cassioli . Cesare Maccari studied under Tito Sarrocchi at the "Institute of Fine Arts" (Istituto di belle arti di Siena) in Siena. Under his direction he worked with him on the Monumento a Giuseppe Pianigiani in the Basilica di San Domenico . In addition to painting, Maccari also worked as a sculptor for some time. He later worked in Luigi Mussini's studio in Florence , where he copied Pinturicchio's works in the cathedral of Siena in 1864 on behalf of an English company .
One of the first to acquire works from Maccari was the Marquis Ferdinando Pieri-Nerli. The Marquis not only bought Rebekah at the fountain, receiving Eleazar's gifts , but hired him to decorate the house chapel of his villa in Quinciano (district of Monteroni d'Arbia ) with frescoes by the four evangelists. In 1865 Maccari's work Mona Lisa , let himself be painted by Leonardo da Vinci, was awarded a prize. In 1874 he married Carolina Eppstein, with her he had the daughter Argia.
