Constantino Brumidi Biography

(b Rome, 26 July 1805; d Washington, DC, 19 Feb 1880). American painter of Italian birth. His father, Stauros Brumidi, was Greek and owned a coffee shop in Rome; his mother, Anna Bianchini, was Italian. Brumidi studied for 14 years, beginning at age 13, at the Accademia di S Luca under sculptors Berthel Thorvaldsen and Antonio Canova and painters Vincenzo Camuccini and Filippo Agricola (1776–1857). He was trained in the techniques of true fresco, tempera and oil, and gained a mastery of the human figure and the convincing depiction of three-dimensional forms. He was supervised by his painting teachers in carrying out his first important commissions, decorating the palace of Prince Alessandro Torlonia (beginning in 1838) and restoring with Domenico Tojetti (1840–42) the eleventh bay of the third Loggia of the Vatican Palace. From 1842 to 1844 he created paintings for the Gothic-style family chapel of the Palazzo Torlonia. At the Villa Torlonia, Brumidi is thought to have been in charge of the decoration of the new theatre, where he signed and dated the frescoes in 1844 and 1845.
