Il fantomatico Belli. Pittore girovago nella Francia di fine Ottocento o copista per la regina Vittoria?
Gardonio, Matteo
2014
Abstract
From the Parisian collection of Angelo Sommaruga, two paintings signed “Belli” were considered realized by
the Italian artist Enrico Belli. The author identified him in Benet Belli, a Spanish painter who was confused
in his life with the most known Enrico, who worked in England as a copyist for her Majesty the Queen Victoria.
From this point the author traces the works and life of Benet Belli – who travelled from Barcelona to Paris in
1878 – and also of Enrico who left England for India in the same years. Nowadays many paintings by Benet
– especially in the French and Italian market of art – are confused and attributed to Enrico; now we know the
difference between them.
