life and work
Inganni received his first lessons from his father Giovanni Inganni, a decorative painter , and his brother Francesco Inganni . He himself began with portraits and architectural paintings. After his military service, on the recommendation of Field Marshal Radetzky , he was accepted as a student at the Milan Art Academy in 1833 . His teacher there was Francesco Hayez , a leading Romantic artist . Inganni began to paint vedutas of the city in Milan . He became known for his new kind of perspective and he even received an award from the Austrian Emperor Ferdinand I in 1839 .
Subsequently Inganni was in Venice operates and Brescia, where he historical paintings painted with scenes from past and present. In doing so, he followed the classicistic - romantic direction of his teacher Hayez. In addition, from 1850 he painted genre pictures inspired by Flemish painting , depictions of rural life in his homeland, which he knew how to give a special charm through artificial lighting effects. The views of churches and palaces in Como , Milan , Venice, Brescia and Verona by Inganni's hand are also known.
In 1842 Inganni married Amalia Bertera, the widow of the painter GB Gigola. From this marriage son Enrico was born. After Bertera died, Inganni married the painter Amanzia Guérillot in 1856 . Many of her works were initially ascribed to him.
At the end of his life he settled in Gussago , where he also decorated the parish church with a fresco .
Inganni's pictures were shown at exhibitions in Milan, Venice, Vienna ( Austrian Art Association ), Brussels and at the Paris World Exhibition of 1855 .
