Ambrogio Antonio Alciati, Italian Romantic portrait painter,

Ambrogio Antonio Alciati was an Italian painter active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

He was primarily a society portrait painter, but many of his other canvasses were subjects of romance, courtship and passion.

His style evolved over time, a darker more classical approach giving way to painterly splashes of color.
