Alexander Antonovich Rizzoni

Alexander Antonovich Rizzoni (1836 - 1902) was active/lived in Russian Federation, Europe.  Alexander Rizzoni is known for Painting.

Alexander Antonovich Rizzoni, or Alessandro Rizzoni (Russian: 4 February 1836, in Riga – 29 April 1902, in Rome) was a Russian-Italian painter of portraits and genre scenes; mostly on Catholic themes.

He was born to an Italian family of artisans; originally from Bologna. He received his first lessons from his brother Pavel, who was also an artist. In 1852, he enrolled at the Imperial Academy of Arts, where he studied with Bogdan Willewalde. Five years later, he was awarded two silver medals for his work.
