Giuseppe Danieli was an Italian painter. He was born in Belluno in 1865. He attended the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice as a student of Luigi Nono who influenced his early production.

In 1899 he presented himself at the III Venice Biennale with the oil painting At Dusk - High Mountain, in which his preference for the study of twilight light effects in the landscape is noticeable. In the same year, in Venice, the artist came into contact with German and Swiss painting, with the landscape art of the Netherlands and French and Italian symbolism.
Besides painting, Giuseppe Danieli devoted himself to teaching drawing in vocational schools, staying in various regions of Italy, from Lentini and Sciacca in Sicily, to Porto Maurizio in Liguria, to Cuneo in Piedmont until he permanently moved to Verona in 1919.
He continued his exhibition activity by participating in 1904 in the International Exhibition of Munich with the artworks Fish Market of Chioggia and Return from Work and in 1906 in the Exhibition of the Promoter of Fine Arts of Florence with the artworks Canal in Chioggia and Alpine Lake in the Evening.

In 1917 he organized in Cuneo the first and only solo exhibition during his lifetime, whose exhibited artworks were largely purchased by the Museum of Bra.
In his last artworks Giuseppe Danieli abandons the landscape and chooses as subjects of his paintings images and scenes of family life.
In the last years of his life, unable to find new sources of inspiration for his artwork and afflicted by serious health problems, Giuseppe Danieli took his own life in 1931.
