Amos Cassioli

Amos Cassiòli (10 August 1832 – 17 December 1891) was an Italian painter of battle scenes, historical canvases and portraits.

Regarded as an excellent portraitist, Cassioli is also noted for his large-scale history paintings which include the Battle of Legnano (1860–1870, Florence, Galleria di arte moderna, Palazzo Pitti) and Il giuramento di Pontida (1884, Siena, Palazzo Pubblico).

Between 1884 and 1886 he executed frescoes in the Sala del Risorgimento of the Palazzo Pubblico depicting the battles of San Martino and Palestro.

He also painted and altarpiece for the Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta in Casole d'Elsa, where he worked alongside Antonio Ridolfi.

He was known also for paintings on classical subjects; many of these, following a 1991 bequest, are conserved in the Museo Cassioli of his native town Asciano.
