life and work

Marianna Pascoli was born in Monfalcone in 1790, the daughter of Giacomo Alvise Pascoli and Domenica Angeli, who came from Colza di Maiaso in the municipality of Enemonzo (Udine). Her talent was recognized at an early age, and so she was first transferred to the Collegio di S. Spirito in Udine, where she was taught music and painting. She then studied with the miniaturist Solferini in Trieste , before finally switching to the Accademia di belle arti di Venezia , where she was accepted as a student by Teodoro Matteini.

There she first practiced the technique of copying the works of earlier masters such as Tizian , Veronese or Bellini . 14 of these pictures are now in the Paduan Museo civico, the city museum, about 50 more are scattered in Europe. Her works can be found in Vienna or Petersburg . She herself visited the important centers of painting in Italy, such as Rome , Bologna and Florence . In Rome she visited the workshop of Antonio Canova , who was very famous at the time , who encouraged her, advised her and directed her to the art of portraiture . The two were also linked by a tender friendship that continued after her marriage to the lawyer Angelo Angeli in Venice.

She herself moved to Venice, where she stayed permanently. This is where the city's important salons opened, such as the Casa Cicognara, the Salotto of Isabella Albrizzi-Teotochi or that of the noblewoman Giuliana Renier Michiel . She also worked for wealthy foreigners, for whom she made portraits, but also copies of the great masters of the Venetian school. She is said to have made a total of 88 portraits. In 1821 she painted a triptych in the context of a Renaissance altar for the oratory of the Seminario patriarcale della Salute , namely the Virgin and Child between San Lorenzo Giustiniani and St. Ludwig . In 1823 she painted an altar retable (pala) for the church of San Felice in Cannaregio with St. Anna , then another pala for the church of San Cassan with Madonna, Child and four saints for the altar to the right of the main altar. In 1824 she became an honorary member of the Accademia di San Luca in Rome.

In the Cathedral of Rovigo she made another Pala with St. Andrea Avellino . Cardinal Placido Zurla was so enthusiastic about another Madonna that he gave her access to the Accademia di S. Luca in Rome. In Udine in 1820 she painted a portrait of the Contessa Margherita Antonini Belgrado (today in the Musei Civici), then another altarpiece for the church of San Michele Arcangelo in Vito d'Asio. She also portrayed friends and relatives in Carnia , where she spent time in the family palace in Colza.

A contribution to Zanotto's Storia della pittura veneziana was dedicated to her during her lifetime . Master died in Monfalcone on October 28, 1846 at the age of 56. In addition to her other works, she left behind a self-portrait with her son, which is now in the Paduan Museo civico (inv. 2047).
