SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Luigi Pompignoli, a 19th-century Italian painter associated with Neoclassicism and Romanticism, is reported to have been born in Forlì in 1814 and to have died in Florence in 1883; his activity is also associated with Forlì. He began his training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, where he studied from 1838 to 1841. During these years, he also worked as a copyist in the Florentine galleries. This activity is associated with the Annunciazione, a work stated to have been executed after Guercino.
