Presentation
Federico Zandomeneghi (1841–1917) was an Italian painter associated with the Impressionist movement. Born in Venice into a family of artists—his father, Pietro, and his grandfather, Luigi, were renowned Neoclassical sculptors—he chose instead to pursue painting. In 1856, he enrolled at the Venice Academy of Fine Arts, later continuing his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan.
In 1859, to avoid conscription into the Austrian army, Zandomeneghi left Venice. The following year, in 1860, he attempted to join Giuseppe Garibaldi's forces during the Expedition of the Thousand, a movement aimed at the unification of Italy. This involvement led him to distance himself from Venice, and in 1862, he settled in Florence, where he frequented the Caffè Michelangiolo. There, he met artists known as the Macchiaioli, such as Telemaco Signorini, Giovanni Fattori, and Giuseppe Abbati, and joined them in painting open-air landscapes. This innovative approach helped bring liveliness and spontaneity to the depiction of light.
In 1874, Zandomeneghi moved to Paris, where he would spend the rest of his life. There, he became acquainted with the Impressionists, who had just held their first group exhibition. His style, similar to theirs, allowed him to participate in four of their subsequent exhibitions, in 1879, 1880, 1881, and 1886. Close to Edgar Degas, he also admired the works of Mary Cassatt and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Many of his paintings depict women in intimate, everyday settings, often rendered with soft, delicate brushwork and a refined use of color.
Over time, Zandomeneghi developed a strong interest in pastel, a technique he mastered with great skill. His pastel works are often compared to those of Degas and Cassatt, particularly in their sensitivity to light and form. While he gained some recognition in Paris, he struggled financially for many years. It was not until the art dealer Paul Durand-Ruel began promoting his work in the 1890s that he achieved commercial success.
Despite being an Italian artist, Zandomeneghi remained deeply attached to the French art scene and never returned to live in Italy. His work, blending Macchiaioli realism with Impressionist color and light, remains a testament to his unique artistic vision. Today, his paintings are housed in major collections, including the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, the National Gallery of Modern Art in Rome, and the Art Institute of Chicago.
He passed away in Paris in 1917, leaving behind a rich body of work that continues to be celebrated for its graceful depictions of modern life and its contribution to both Italian and French art history.
