Gaspare Landi (6 January 1756 – 28 February 1830) was an Italian painter of the Neoclassic period, active in Rome and his native city of Piacenza.
Biography
Landi is said to have been a fun-loving youth, but in 1781 he procured a subsidy to study painting in Rome from patron and distant relative, Marquis Giambattista Landi. At age 25, he moved to Rome to work under
Pompeo Battoni. He is considered a rival of Vincenzo Camuccini
.
Two of his pictures were once in the Pinacoteca at
Duomo of Piacenza[2]
Landi became a member of the
Academy of Venice, but stayed instead a president of the Academia di San Luca.[4]
He returned to Piacenza in 1829, where he died.
