PIETRO FANCELLI (Bologna 1764 - Bologna 1850) STANDING MALE FIGURE IN CLASSICAL ATTIRE
Black chalk, heightened with white chalk, on prepared brown paper; 443 x 317 mm. Watermark: 'PZ'.

Pietro Fancelli received his first instruction in painting from his father Petronio, in Bologna, before moving to Venice for some years. After his return to Bologna at the age of twenty, he was elected member of the Accademia Clementina, entering a period of intense activity, first painting stage decoration and later undertaking commissions for altarpieces and for decorative cycles. Fancelli's style, initially influenced by the Venetian School, changed when the artist was exposed to the Bolognese Neoclassical current and came under the influence of local artists like Ubaldo and Gaetano Gandolfi.
