Domenico Induno

Il ritorno del soldato ferito, 1854 ca. (Fondazione Cariplo)

Domenico Induno (1815–1878) was an Italian painter, originally a goldsmith.

He was born and died in Milan, and studied in the Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, as well as under Luigi Sabatelli and at Rome. He tried successively the Neoclassicism and Romantic schools, but afterwards settled down to depict popular life at Milan. In 1848 he took part with the Revolution, and had in consequence to flee to Switzerland. Thence he passed to Tuscany, and did not return home until 1859. His brother Gerolamo Induno was also a painter. Domenico married the sister of the Swiss painter Angelo Trezzini. Domenico often painted patriotic canvases, in a style indebted both to Ingres and Francesco Hayez. Among his paintings are:

• The Beggars.
• The Conflagration.
• The Despatch.
• The Smugglers.
• The Soldier's Tear.
• The Crown of Roses.
• Samuel and David.
