Italian painter and politician (1836–1912)
Giuseppe Vaccai (Pesaro, August 21, 1836 -1912) was an Italian painter, mainly of landscapes.
Biography.
His father was a well-known music composer, and Vaccai did not dedicate himself to painting until after twenty years of age. The family sent him to the Sapienza University of Rome to train as a lawyer. But in Rome, his fellow Pesarese, Cavaliere Carlo Gavardini, introduced him to the landscape artist, Jean-Achille Benouville who took him in his studio. His canvases reproduce the pine forests of Ravenna as well as the valleys and coasts of central Italy. Among his works are: "Il fosso Ghiaia a Ravenna"; "Sulle sponde del Nera"; "Intorno alla Pineta"; "The Adriatic Beach in Pesaro"; and "Albacina". In 1870 at Parma, he exhibited a "Vallala di Poschiavo dal monte Cavagna". In 1877 at Naples, he exhibited a "Fosso Ghiaia nella Pineta di Ravenna" and a "Paesaggio". Among his works exhibited in Turin, Milan, Rome and Bologna, were: "In riva all' Adriatico"; "Sulle colline"; "Marina di Pesaro a levante"; "Marina di Pesaro verso Cattolica"; "Le foci di Piobbico"; "Stazione di Foligno"; and "Appennino Metaurense". He became an associate member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna and in his last decade became a deputy in parliament.
