The Art of Luigi Rossini


Long after the Renaissance, Italy continued to produce wonderful artists. In the 19th Century, Luigi Rossini became one of the most famous and talented authors in this modern time.

Luigi began his work in the city of Bologna. He studied with Antonio Giuseppe Basoli (1744-1843).



It was during this time that he developed an interest in architecture. He immersed himself in such learnings and attended numerous lectures. He soon began to draw and sketch Italian achitecture. In 1813 he won a prize for his art which led him to Rome where he continued to stimulate his artistic talents. Some of his most famous art depict the most revered ancient structures of Rome.
