COMPOSERS

Life

Trained in the heart of the 18th century, in an era where the elegance of the Rococo and the critical spirit of the Enlightenment coexisted, his artistic maturity as a violinist and composer was fully expressed in the new taste of Neoclassicism.

Luigi de Baillou was born in Milan in 1736 and established himself as a talented violinist and appreciated composer. His activity developed mainly in his native city, where he contributed to musical life with performances and compositions.

Briciole di storia

Incisione dalla celebre serie, intitolata <i>Le antichità Romane</i>, che documenta l'interno di un colombario romano. Con stile inconfondibile, Piranesi trasforma una veduta archeologica in una scena drammatica, enfatizzando la grandiosità monumentale e il senso di decadenza del passato, grazie anche all'uso teatrale del chiaroscuro.
