Francesco Filippini (18 September 1853 – 6 March 1895) was an Italian painter from Lombardy.

[1] Filippini was born into a poor family on 18 September 1853 in Brescia, in Lombardy, which at that time was in the Austrian Empire.

[1] He attended the school of drawing at the Pinacoteca Tosio; from 1872 he received a grant from the city council to continue these studies.

When young, Filippini painted mostly religious or historical subjects,[3] as well as some portraits.

In later life he painted mostly landscapes – of the Apennines, of Pegli, of Porto Valtravaglia, of the Val Camonica or of the Valle Seriana – or seascapes in Chioggia, Genova, Naples or Venice.
