Alberto Prosdocimi

He was commissioned by Queen Margherita to create an illuminated portrait of the Prince of Naples.

He also made an elaborately illuminated album by the aristocracy of Padua and Verona as a gift to the Queen.

He was engaged to tutor in painting the Princess Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen and of the hereditary Granduchess of Granduchessa Holdemburg.

He was one of the collaborators of a masterwork La basilica di S. Marco illustrata nella storia e nell'arte (1878–93), published by Ferdinando Ongania.

Gubernatis wrote about Prosdocimi's vedute of The Baptistery: by regularity of line and perspective, by evidence of light effects, has the mathematical exactness of remembered paintings, but it stands out for revealing very intensely the poetry of the atmosphere, which Prosdocimi profoundly feels without truncating the original feeling; while among the Venetians he has an individuality, calculated and devived from the studies of concepts and technique.
