Francesco Duramano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Francesco Duramano (18th century) was an Italian painter known for floral still lifes.[1] He was born in Venice, and active there and in Brescia.
Duramano learned to paint from his mother, a painter of flowers. He became a prominent decorative painter.[2][3]
The art historian Luigi Salerno, says that Francesco, or his contemporary Carlo Henrici, could be the painter he identifies as pseudo-Guardi[4] or the Maestro di Fiori Guardeschi. For an example of such a painting would be the Roses, Peonies, and Tulips sold by Christies in 2006.[5] Other painters in this style or orbit include Margherita Caffi and Elisabetta Marchioni.[6]
