Carlo Labruzzi, born in Rome on November 6, 1748 and died in Perugia on December 8, 1817 (at age 69), was an Italian painter and engraver of the eighteenth and early nineteenth century.
Biography
Carlo Labruzzi spent his first years as a painter in Nuremberg, then in 1780 in Rome, where he was elected a member of the Pontifical Academy of Fine Arts and Letters of the Virtuosi at the Pantheon. In 1786 he became a member of the Accademia di San Luca.
He painted portraits, genre scenes and altarpieces, but was best known for his landscapes.
In the 1780s he was appreciated by the British travelers of the Model: Grand Tour in Rome. In 1789 Sir Richard Colt Hoare ordered drawings and watercolors and invited him to accompany him along the Via Appia, following the itinerary indicated by the Roman poet Horace in his description of a trip to Brindisi in Italy. 38 av. J.-C. Labruzzi was to draw drawings of the remains, ancient tombs and villas along their itinerary. The project was interrupted by the weather and health problems of Labruzzi, but 226 watercolors were made and connected in 5 volumes by Colt Hoare 1.
A second series of drawings, less complete, probably preparatory studies, was preserved by Labruzzi who had engraved them on 24 plates and published the prints 1.
In 1814 Labruzzi was appointed director of the Accademia di Belle Arti in Perugia, a position he held for three years until his death. He was replaced by Tommaso Minardi.[1] Among his pupils in Perugia are Silvestro Massari, Margherita Lazi,[2] and Marianna Candidi Dionigi.[3]
