Cesare Tallone (born August 26, 1853 in Savona , † June 21, 1919 in Milan ) was an Italian painter .

Life

Cesare Tallone lost his father at the age of 10 and then moved with his mother and sisters to Alessandria , where he became a student of the decorative painter Pietro Sassi . Some members of the local bourgeoisie ordered the first portraits from him and persuaded the city ​​council to finance his studies. Thanks to this financial help, Tallone was able to enroll in the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in 1872 and to study with Raffaele Casnedi , Luigi Riccardi and Giuseppe Bertini until 1880 . His talent was evident from his very first work and was recognized by Francesco Hayez , who allowed him to use his own studio near the academy . Tallone has been an active participant in Milan's lively cultural milieu and has been a member of the Famiglia Artistica since it was founded in 1873 by Vespasiano Bignami .

Tallone won the triennial painting competition at the Brera Exhibition in 1879 on a historical theme. This subject was exhibited together with a portrait of Luigi Bernasconi (Rome, Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna) at the Esposizione di Belle Arti in Rome in 1883. Tallone often stayed in Rome with Antonio Mancini and Francesco Paolo Michetti . His success with audiences and critics alike was confirmed the following year at the Esposizione Generale Italiana in Turin . In 1885 he was appointed teacher of painting at the Accademia Carrara in Bergamo , a position that he also held at the Brera Academy, succeeding Bertini, from 1899. During these years he continued to exhibit his works and became known as a portraitist in intellectual, bourgeois and aristocratic circles. One of the last awards he received was the Principe Umberto Prize in 1908, and an entire room at the Esposizione Internazionale d'Arte di Venezia was dedicated to his works. He died in Milan. On the initiative of his friend Bignami, the Brera Academy commemorated him with a posthumous retrospective .
