About Giuseppe Aureli (Source: German, English and Italian wikipedia):

Giuseppe Aureli (1858 Rome - 1929 Anzio) was an Italian painter.

Giuseppe Aureli was born in Rome in 1858. He attended the San Luca Art Academy. In 1883 he exhibited in Rome and in 1884 in Turin. In 1888 and 1900 he exhibited in Munich, and in 1889 he was represented at the World Exhibition in Paris. From 1900 to 1907 and 1913 he was represented at the International Exhibition of Roman Watercolor Painters.

Giuseppe Aureli made a name for himself as a history painter and as a portrait painter of the Italian royal family. Another subject area were oriental motifs such as harem and bazaar scenes, although Aureli had never visited the Orient.

Giuseppe Aureli (Rome, December 5, 1858 – 1929) was an Italian painter and watercolourist. His work is noted for its historical subject matter, portraits of Italian noble families as well as genre paintings and local scenes, especially work with Oriental themes.

Life and career: Giuseppe Aureli was born in Rome in 1858. He received his early art education at the Academia de San Luca where he was the pupil of Pietro Gabarini and Cesare Maccari.[1] He exhibited in various exhibitions; including: The International Exhibition of 1888 in Munich and the World Fair of 1893 in Chicago, but his Oriental works were rarely included in these early exhibitions. Having his workshop at 48 Via Margutta in Rome, Aureli was in a position to exchange ideas with the most prolific Orientalist artists at that time. He used the same staircase that led to a rabbit-warren of studios including those of Filippo Bartolini, Enrico Tarenghi, Nazzareno Cipriani, all considered to be among Rome's master Orientalists and the illustrator, Ettore Ximenes. With those influences, Aureli began painting more works with Oriental subject matter such as harem scenes and exotic beauties. [2] He died in 1929 in Anzio.

Work: Although Aureli derives his reputation primarily from his paintings of historic Italy and portraits of the Italian Royal family, his work features many representations of Oriental scenes including: harems, guards, Arabic bazaars and street life. His Oriental work typically includes elements such as exotic musical instruments, leopard skin, Moroccan ceramics and greenhouse plants. [3] He worked in watercolors and oils.

Examples of his work can be found in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna and L'Aula del Consiglio Provinciale de Rome and in private collections.
