Giuseppe Danieli biography

Giuseppe Danieli was an Italian painter. He was born in Belluno in 1865. He attended the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia as a student of Luigi Nono, who influenced his early work.
In 1897, Giuseppe Danieli exhibited the works Giornata grigia and Sul tramonto at the III Triennale di belle arti di Brera, while the following year he participated in the Esposizione nazionale di belle arti in Turin with the artwork Riflessi di tramonto.
In 1899, he presented at the III Venice Biennale with the oil painting Sull'imbrunire - Alta montagna, where his preference for the study of twilight lighting effects in the landscape is evident. In the same year, in Venice, the artist came into contact with German and Swiss painting, the landscape art of the Netherlands, and French and Italian symbolism.
In addition to painting, Giuseppe Danieli is dedicated to teaching drawing in vocational schools, residing in various regions of Italy, from Lentini and Sciacca in Sicily, to Porto Maurizio in Liguria, to Cuneo in Piedmont, until he finally moved permanently to Verona in 1919.
He continues his exhibition activity by participating in 1904 in the International Exhibition of Munich with the works Pescheria di Chioggia and Ritorno dal lavoro and in 1906 in the Exhibition of the Promotrice of Fine Arts of Florence with the works Canale a Chioggia and Lago alpino di sera. In 1908, he exhibits again in Florence Inverno a Chioggia and All'Ave Maria. In 1910, he presents at the Exhibition of the Society of Fine Arts of Genoa the works Studi e impressioni, Vecchi cantieri, Canale di pescatori, and Alto Cadore.
In 1917, he organized in Cuneo his first and only solo exhibition during his lifetime, with most of the exhibited works being purchased by the Museum of Bra.
In his latest works, Giuseppe Danieli abandons the landscape and chooses images and scenes of family life as the subjects of his paintings.
In the last years of his life, unable to find new sources of inspiration for his art and afflicted by serious health problems, Giuseppe Danieli took his own life in 1931.
