SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Giulio Aristide Sartorio (1860–1932), born in Rome into a family of sculptors, combined easel painting with monumental decoration. He exhibited Malaria at Rome’s International Exhibition in 1883 and subsequently worked within artistic circles associated with Gabriele D’Annunzio. His diptych Diana di Efeso e gli schiavi and La Gorgone e gli eroi was shown at the Venice Biennale in 1899 and acquired there for the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna.
Between 1908 and 1912 he executed the wax-tempera frieze for the parliamentary chamber at Montecitorio, devoted to the history of the Italian people. The human figure also carries his later religious investigations. In Il Precursore, painted in 1927–1928 and held by the Vatican Museums, John the Baptist appears veiled, extending his arm towards Christ.
