"Giuseppe Bezzuoli is perhaps the greatest Tuscan painter of the Restoration era and one of the main protagonists of Italian Romantic painting. He was able to masterly manage many different pictorial genres, excelling both in historical and literary subjects, and in large canvases of decorations for public and private premises. He was initially active at the Napoleonic court of Elisa Baciocchi and later at the Habsburg-Lorraine one, working also for other illustrious Italian and foreign customers. Moreover, what is particularly interesting is his landscapes and portraits, two fundamental aspects of Bezzuoli's artistic production, through which he influenced the following generation of artists, especially the Macchiaioli."
