Hermann David Salomon Corrodi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hermann David Salomon Corrodi (b. 23rd July, 1844, d. 30th January, 1905 in Rome) was an Italian painter of the 19th Century.[1][2][3]Corrodi was born in Frascati[3] (an alternate source lists his birthplace as Zurich)[4] and lived for many years in Rome.[4]" Corrodi studied at the Accademia di S. Luca under his father, Salomon Corrodi (1810–1892) and in Paris (1872).[1] He received commissions for history paintings from the British royal family and was acquainted with most of the European royalty of the time, including a friendship with Queen Victoria[4] and traveled widely in the Far East, including Egypt, Syria, Cyprus and Istanbul, which provided the subject matter for many of his paintings.[1] He is the brother of Arnold Corrodi. Originally a landscape painter in the academic style, much of his work is also typical of the Orientalism style of the 19th century.[1][5] In 1893 he was knighted 'Accademico di Merito' by the Accademia di San Luca where he had been a professor.[2][3]
Corrodi's work is in the Frye Art Museum in Seattle, WA, the Dahesh Museum of Art in New York, Qatar National Museum, and Museo di Roma in Trastevere.
