Achille Glisenti (October 1, 1848 in Brescia – Dcember 21, 1906) was an Italian painter, mostly of elegant genre and Orientalist subjects.


Biography

His first training in Brescia was under Luigi Campini, and then he studied at the Brera Academy of Milan under Eleuterio Pagliano. He fought with Garibaldi in 1866. He then traveled to Munich in Germany, where he made contact with former members of the Academy of Vienna, often painting in non-conventional styles including Wilhelm von Diez of the Munich School, Arnold Böcklin, and Richard Zimmermann and his brothers.

He returned to Florence to paint and open an antiquarian gallery. He often depicted scena galante in 17th century garb as well as orientalist themes, which appealed to the American and British buyers. He was active in restoration of antique canvases. He also painted portraits including the King Umberto I and his wife. After the early 1880s, he lost vision due to an ophthalmic malady, and stopped painting. [1]

In 2007-2008, an exhibition of his works was assembled in Brescia.[2]
