Originally from the province of Mantua, Giulio Falzoni trained at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, where he immediately distinguished himself for the use of the watercolor technique, a technique in which he then specialized in London. His production was strongly linked to his origins, with numerous rural and bucolic views of the Mantuan countryside, but he was also a painter of the old Milan, of which he portrayed corners and small glimpses of the historic center, as well as of London where he studied. This sketch proposes the chase between two jockeys. It is presented in a contemporary frame.

Additional Information
Artist: Giulio Falzoni (1900-1978)
Giulio Falzoni was born in 1990 in Marmirolo, in the province of Mantua, but lived for many years in Florence and later in Milan, a city for which he painted many views. In 1915 he began studying drawing in Mantua and despite his young age, he took part in the First World War for a short period of time. Even in those tragic circumstances he continued to draw some images of life in the trenches. In 1928 he attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, where he began to distinguish himself for his use of the watercolor technique. During his stay in Florence he attended the studios of Ludovico Tommasi and Plinio Novellini, from whom he began his exhibition career thanks also to the interest of a representative of the early 20th century Neapolitan art, Vincenzo Irolli, who invited him to paint in his studio. At the end of the 1940s he specialized at the Royal Water Color Society in London, where he represented evocative views of the city. From the 70s onwards he dedicated himself to multimedia experiments that combined his two great passions: painting and classical music. In these experiments he illustrated various lyrical and symphonic works with his watercolors. During his career he participated in several art exhibitions, such as in Mantua, Naples, Padua, Florence and in many other cities in Switzerland, France and England. Falzoni is considered a leading representative of the figurative school of the 20th century who practiced various techniques, such as oil on canvas, murals, ink and some interesting multimedia experiments ante litteram, but stood out in particular for his mastery of watercolor, of which he was an undisputed master. Among his favorite subjects, the views of many cities, first of all Milan, and horses, which throughout his pictorial life entered his paintings, alone or as part of his many views of cities around the world. He was also a talented violinist. Giulio Falzoni died in 1979 in Milan.Age: 20th Century / 1901 - 2000
