Vincenzo Camuccini (22 February 1771 – 2 September 1844) was an Italian painter of Neoclassic histories and religious paintings. He was considered the premier academic painter of his time in Rome. BiographyCamuccini was born in Rome, and first educated by his brother Pietro, a picture-restorer, and Pietro Leone Bombelli, an engraver. His brother Pietro gave up his place in the studio of Domenico Corvi to Vincenzo.[1] Until nearly the age of 30 he mainly dedicated himself to copying old masters.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911|p=139}} As an original painter, Camuccini belongs to the Neoclassicist school fostered in Rome by Anton Raphael Mengs.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}} Camuccini's first major independent work, completed around 1798, was a large canvas of the Death of Caesar.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}} This led to the assessment that Camuccini may have been influenced by Jacques-Louis David's classic Roman themes and style;{{sfn|Chisholm|1911|p=139}} but it is more likely both were emerging from the rising Neoclassic refocus towards images of and derived from Greco-Roman themes.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}} In 1800, he was commissioned an Incredulity of St. Thomas (copy of mosaic) by the Vatican. In 1806, Gaspare Landi received a commission for two large canvases for the chapel of the Madonna of the Rosary in the church of San Giovanni in Piacenza. Ultimately, the commission was split with Camuccini who painted a Presentation in the Temple. The canvases by the two artists were completed in the early spring of 1806, and were exhibited side by side at the Pantheon at Easter of that year.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}} A few years later, he was invited to Munich and Paris, the latter government had requested a painting on the Battle of Ratisbon, but he asked and obtain other topics. In Paris, he met Napoleon, David, Perodet, Gros, Regnault, and M. Gérard.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}} Of pictures on classic Greco-Roman history were:{{citation needed|date=November 2011}}
He also painted:{{citation needed|date=November 2011}}
He also painted a Betrothal of Psyche, and, jointly with Landi, he painted, in fresco, the ceiling of the Torlonia Palace.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}} As a portrait painter he attained considerable eminence; among the best he produced are those of Pope Pius VII (now in the Gallery at Vienna); the Comte de Blacas, Ambassador from France to the Holy See; the King of Naples; and the Queen of Naples; The Countess Sehouvaloff; and the Countess von Dietrichstein (1829). Several of his works were engraved by Pietro Bettelini, and some have been lithographed by Giovanni Scudellari, and published under the title of I Fasti principali della Vita di Gesú Cristo, with text in Italian and French at Rome, in 1829. Camuccini was appointed inspector-general of the Museums of the Pope, and of the Factory of Mosaics, and director of the Neapolitan Academy of Rome. He was a member of the Institute of France, during some years president of the Academy of St. Luke. Pope Pius VII conferred upon him the title of Baron, with hereditary succession, and the Emperor Francis I the order of the Iron Crown. In 1829, he was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Honorary member. He died at Rome in 1844.[2] He expended no small portion of his wealth in the purchase of a fine collection of objects of art. In 1856, the greater portion of the pictures, upwards of seventy in number, were purchased being bought by the duke of Northumberland,{{citation needed|date=November 2011}} who removed them to Alnwick Castle. They consist principally of the works of the Italian masters living in the 16th and 17th centuries, with some specimens of an earlier date, and a few others of the Dutch and Flemish painters of the 17th century. He purchased a Raphael, known as Madonna of the Pinks.{{citation needed|date=November 2011}} On September 9, 1833, excavations at the Pantheon brought to light the tomb of Raphael, and Camuccini was commissioned to draw the archaeological discovery, which he did with religious precision, as if a new holy martyr, but this time for art, had been discovered. Among his many pupils and followers were Nicola de Laurentiis of Chieti. Notes1. ^Lucinda Lubbock. "Camuccini." Grove Art Online. Oxford Art Online. Oxford University Press.
