Attilio Pusterla

Attilio Pusterla (Milan, Italy, 1862 – Woodcliff, New Jersey, United States, 1941) was an Italian painter.

By 1880, he attended the Brera Academy alongside Filippo Carcano, Emilio Longoni and Angelo Morbelli.

At the 1886 Promotrice (and in 1887 in Venice) he sent Vecchio pescatore, La questua dei poreri and Dopo una predica.

He then began genre painting figures of contemporary working class life, including Cucine Economiche, An English Marriage in a Cemetery and the Bevitrici di Sangue.

[2][3] As part of Works Progress Administration-sponsored projects employing artists, he directed many of the frescoes for the New York County Supreme Courthouse on Foley Square.
