Sul dipinto
Luigi Zuccoli (1815-1876) was born in Milan where he was the pupil of Pelagio Palagi (1775/7-1860). Zuccoli was a patriot and was in exile in London from 1864 to 1868 where he executed a portrait of Giuseppe Mazzini (1805-1872) who had an important role in the unification of the Italian states. After a short stay in Rome, he came back definitively to Milan where he became an emeritus member of the Accademia of Brera.
Leggi
This painting is a fine example of Luigi Zoccoli's art, which focused on intimate genre scenes in a late Romantic style. The present painting shows an act of charity: a rich woman giving some money to a poor and beautiful young woman. This painting exalts the sentiment of innocence and social injustice as well as the idea of exempla embodied by the young girl who is implicitly given a lesson of charity. This type of picture was quite popular in Northern Italy in the middle of the century.
