Giovanni Pessina

Giovanni Pessina (Bergamo, 1836 - 1904)[1] was an Italian painter, described in contemporary documents as a painter of prospettiva (perspective)[2] and an internista,[3] he specialized in vedute of interiors in a precise, realist style.

Biography

He studied at the Brera Academy and was a pupil of Luigi Bisi.[4] In 1872 at Milan, he exhibited canvas depicting Choir of the church of the Monastero Maggiore in Milan, and interior of Sacristy of the church of San Vittore al Corso. At the Esposizione of Fine Arts at Turin, in 1880, he displayed the interior of the Abby of Chiaravalle. The Galleria d'Arte Moderna of Milan has two painting of Pessina: Interno del Duomo di Milano (1862) and Interno della sagrestia di San Vittore Grande a Milano (1865). A painting of the September 4, 1864, ceremony awarding honorary membership in the Pio Istituto Tipografico of Milan to Alessandro Manzoni, was located in said institute.[5]

gollark: I *will* continue use of `they`, for general convenience and the ability to conveniently ignore gender entirely.
gollark: Your criticism², while interesting, ultimately fails. Consider: you have *responded* to my criticism [see screenshot], despite claiming that this would not occur. This is an evident contradiction.It is also clear that, contra to your original claim #2, gollariosity has *increased* as a result of your actions.
gollark: I wholeheartedly disagree with removal of apioderivative words.1. This is dubious. Current research suggests nonlinear apioformic effects, where high use of apio-derived words leads to increased use due to memetic contamination, rather than a conserved/fixed level of apiodensity.2. I am, in any case, inevitable. Additionally, I do not consider this good.3. This appears to contradict #1 somewhat. We have also proven unable to displace the "apioform"/"bee" meme, despite previous attempts. If you want to remove it, come up with better memetics.
gollark: Wrong.
gollark: Did you know? There have been many incidents in the past where improper apiary safety protocols have lead to unbounded tetrational apiogenesis, also referred to as a VK-class "universal apiary" scenario. Often, the fallout from this needs to be cleaned up by moving all sentient entities into identical simulated universes, save for the incident occurring. This is known as "retroactive continuity", and modern apiaries' safety systems provide this functionality automatically.
