Michele Fanoli

In Paris he made lithographic reproductions of major works including Deposition (1848), Les Willis (1848), Marriage at Cana (1849), Orpheus (1854), Last Supper (1855), and Immaculate Conception (1855), printed by Lemercier in Paris.

When he returned to Italy in 1860, he was made director of the School of Lithography at the Brera Academy.

[2] Fanoli made a widely circulated painting from a scene in the opera I Promessi Sposi.

He also engraved a fanciful inventory of the sculptural works of Antonio Canova (1840).

[5] He painted two works in Cittadella: La riconoscenza displayed in City Hall, and an altarpiece (Blessed Veronica Giuliani receives Stigmata surrounded by Saints) for the principal church of the town.
