Portrait of a lady

Giacomo Fiamminghi (Luzzara, 1815 - Verona, 1895)

49.5 x 42 cm
in 62 x 54 frame

The painting, created by Giacomo Fiamminghi in 1856, certainly commissioned by her, portrays a bourgeois lady wearing an amaranth velvet dress with a lace collar enriched by a sumptuous brooch as a set with the elegant earrings.
The painting is signed and dated 1856, therefore painted during his stay in Verona.


Giacomo Fiamminghi was born in Luzzara to Giuseppe and Angela Grisanti and spent his first years of apprenticeship in nearby Guastalla, at Gualdi, then moving on to the Royal Academy of Parma, where he was a pupil of G. B. Borghesi. Around 1840, thanks to his friendship with the engraver Toschi, he moved to the Academy of Florence, as a student of S. Jesi. In Florence he dedicated himself to the study of the nude and fifteenth-century Tuscan painting. Also in 1840 he was commissioned to paint the altarpiece of S. Sebastiano curated by the Pie Donne, still preserved today in the parish church of Luzzara, which confirms his academic preparation. From Florence, he moved to Mantua, where he remained for two years; A self-portrait previously in a private collection probably dates back to this period. In 1845 he went to Verona and joined the Academy of Painting and Sculpture. In 1858 he was among the founders of the Society of Fine Arts and, in the same year, he took part in the first of the exhibitions organized by the Veronese association: he exhibited the painting Nina or the madwoman for love, from around 1850 (Verona, Art Gallery modern, see Marinelli, 1989), and a Self-portrait which brought him to the attention of Veronese families, thus opening up an interesting market niche for him in the field of bourgeois portraiture.
His works are preserved in important private collections as well as in local institutions such as the Accademia Virgiliana, in Verona in the modern art collection of Palazzo Forti.
