About Vittorio Amedeo Cignaroli

  • Biography

    Vittorio Amedeo Cignaroli, son of the painter Scipione Cignaroli, was a landscape painter active in Turin in the early 18th century. Trained by his father, he absorbed the influences of Venetian painting, particularly Marco Ricci, and the Arcadia style of Zuccarelli and Zais. His unique style also reflected the stylistic lessons of the French school. Cignaroli gained favor with the Savoy and Turin nobility, leading to the expansion of his workshop and appointments to prestigious positions. He worked in various Savoy residences and was appointed a professor at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Turin. In 1782, Vittorio Amedeo III appointed him as "our painter in landscapes and woodscrusts."
