SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Tommaso Minardi trained with Giuseppe Zauli in Faenza before moving to Rome in 1803. Drawing became central to both his practice and his teaching. He directed the Academy of Perugia from 1819 to 1822, then taught at the Accademia di San Luca. His involvement in Purism connected him with Pietro Tenerani through a shared commitment to renewing Christian art.
Blind Homer in the House of the Shepherd Glaucus, preserved in Forlì and dated around 1809, shows the poet singing before his host and the family. This version is painted in oil on paper mounted on canvas. Minardi also participated in work at the Quirinal Palace in 1812. Alongside painting and teaching, he assumed responsibilities for protecting and restoring Rome’s artistic heritage, extending his activity beyond the production of individual works.
