Emilio Cavenaghi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Luigi Cavenaghi)

Emilio Cavenaghi, an Italian painter of landscapes and genre pieces, was born in Caravaggio in 1852. He studied under Giuseppe Bertini. La Stanza Poldi and The Music Amateur, are two of his best works. He also designed many woodcuts for book-illustrations. He painted the decorations and sipario (curtain) of Teatro Manzoni.[1] He died at Milan in 1876.

He appears to be a sibling to Luigi Cavenaghi (Caravaggio, August 8, 1844 – Milano, December 7, 1918).
