(1815–1878 Milan) Devotions, signed and dated Do. Induno 1865, oil on canvas, 56.5 x 43 cm, framed, restored (Rei)
Domenico Induno Historical, genre and portrait painter. Brother of Gerolamo. As the son of a minor civil servant at the court of Archduke Maximilian, Induno grew up in straitened circumstances and became apprenticed to a goldsmith before discovering his patron in the copper engraver Cossa who enabled him to attend the academy. As a pupil of L. Sabatelli and Hayez, Induno won the large painting prize in 1837 for his painting “Alexander the Great and his Doctor Philippos” which provided the funds for an extensive sojourn in Rome lasting several years. After initially copying the religious, historical style of his teachers, he later shifted almost completely to the depiction of contemporary Italian folklife and, as the first Italian representative of verism in painting, focused on painting the poor. Although depicting scenes of human misery and need, these were repeatedly reconciled with the sense of warmth and affection which flowed from his paintings. His later works are characterised by their harmonic palette and warm colouring, paired with equally brisk yet meticulous brushwork.
