Michelangelo Fumagalli

Following in his father's footsteps, he attended the Accademia di Brera, where he studied with Luigi Sabatelli.

[1] After 1851, he developed a tendency to paint in small formats, and was influenced in his choice of subject matter by the Venetian painter, Francesco Hayez.

In 1859, following Italy's liberation from Austria, with the French as allies, he presented a painting of Carlo Goldoni giving Italian language lessons to the daughter of King Louis XV.

There is a self-portrait and an unidentified fresco from 1867, a portrait of Dr. Giovanni Clerici, at the Ospedale Maggiore, from 1871, and a scene showing Admiral Vettor Pisani in prison, from 1872.

[1] He actually died in 1886, at home, and is buried at the Cimitero Monumentale di Milano next to his wife, Pierina née Soresi.
