SCRIBANTE EUSEBIO
(1864 - 1898)
Painter born May 14, 1864, in Brusnengo, Biella, to Giovanni and Romersa Maria.
He took part in the 1882 General Exhibition of Products of the Biella District with Ritratto di S. M. Umberto / (charcoal) and in the 1889 exhibition of the Società Promotrice delle Belle Árti in Turin with two works.
From the list of exhibitors at the Turin Promotrice, published on the occasion of the society's first centenary exhibition (1952), it appears that the artist was living in Rome in 1889.
He died in Turin in 1898.
Two years after his death, several of his large-scale watercolors were exhibited in the window of the Aimone ceramics and crystal store in Via Umberto (now Via Italia) in Biella.
The newspaper "L'Eco dell'Industria" wrote on that occasion, "The works exhibited represent figures and groups of Indian types reproduced from life in peregrinations made for the purpose of study in English India and especially in Cal-cutta."
