A DRAWING BY MOSE BIANCHI, PENCIL ON PAPER, C.1877
Pencil and ink on paper drawing "La Guerra" by Mose Bianchi (Italian, 1840–1904). Inscribed on the reverse. Matted and framed behind the glass. Provenance: Borghi & Co., New York. Mosè Bianchi was an Italian painter and printmaker. Bianchi was born in Monza. His family moved to Milan and he enrolled at the Brera Academy. Having interrupted his studies to serve in the second war of independence, he returned to attend the school of painting directed by Giuseppe Bertini. The award of a grant in 1867 enabled him to visit Venice and then Paris in 1869. He took part at the Brera exhibitions and the Vienna Exhibition of 1873. In this period he began to paint genre scenes in 18th-century settings and numerous portraits, soon becoming one of the artists most in demand with the Milanese middle classes.
