Antonio Mancini
(November 1852 – December 1930)
Antonio Mancini was one of the most important Italian painters of the nineteenth century. His life was difficult and often takes the shape of a tale . Marked by an impoverished life, a difficult youth and later from mental disorders, Mancini manages to produce an extensive body of work in Italy as well as few other countries in northern Europe. Today Antonio Mancini is considered to be the most admired painter by professional academic artists.
Born in Rome, in 1852 but transfers to Naples in his early teens where he studies with Domenico Morelli.
