PUCCINELLI, Antonio
(b. 1822 Castelfranco di Sotto, d. 1897 Firenze)
Italian painter. He first attended the Florence Academy under the Romantic painter Bezzuoli, before completing his studies in Rome. After his return to Florence, he successfully pursued a career as both a history and portrait painter for distinguished patrons. His approach to portraiture was similar to that of Ingres, with his sensuous linear pattern and enamel-like colouring.
