Pompeo Pozzi


Pompeo Pozzi was an Italian painter, but is best known for his photographs.
Pozzi studied at the Brera Academy of Art, and was a resident of Milan. He mainly painted landscapes and seascapes.
The painter Luigi Sacchi in 1859 began publishing an art and photography magazine titled L Artista from Pozzi's studio. Many of Pozzi's photographs are now at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
