Giovanni Carnovali
Italian, 1804–1873
Giovanni Carnovali was an Italian Biedermeier artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Accademia Carrara. Giovanni Carnovali was born in Montegrino Valtravaglia.
Giovanni Carnovali (29 September 1804 – 5 July 1873), known as Il Piccio ('the little one'), was an Italian painter. Trained as an academic painter, he gradually shifted towards painting of a less descriptive character with soft, hazy outlines under the influence of Correggio and Andrea Appiani. His work exerted a strong influence on Milanese artists of the next generation, the group known as the Scapigliati.
