Vittorio Emanuele Bressanin, son of a family of merchants, felt a predisposition for painting and decided to move, while still young, to Venice to further his studies at the local Academy of Fine Arts. At the Academy he studied with profit under the guidance of master Pompeo Gherardo Molmenti. After graduating he was called to teach at the local School of Art, founded in 1872, where he contributed to the training of students with colleagues of the caliber of Ettore Tito, Ludovico Cadorin and Emilio Paggiato.

Parallel to his teaching profession he carried out numerous paintings, on canvas and in fresco, faithful to the Baroque of the 18th-century Venetian frescanti combined with repetitive neo-Rococo themes to which, although the Italian art scene was evolving, he remained faithful until his death.

The first success that made him nationally known came in 1887, with the work The Last Senate exhibited at the National Art Exhibition in Venice, a success he repeated in Milan in 1894 by winning the Principe Umberto Prize.
