Collection: Alberto Pasini

Alberto Pasini, an Italian painter born in Busseto on September 3, 1826, and who died in Cavoretto on December 15, 1899, specialized in Orientalist subjects in a late-Romantic style.

His paintings frequently depicted scenes from the Middle East, such as "Circassian Cavalry Awaiting their Commanding Officer at the Door of a Byzantine Monument". Pasini's "Memory of the Orient" (1880) exemplifies his late-Romantic approach to these exotic landscapes, often featuring cavalry or architectural elements.
