This is a pair to the previous item number 3949.

Ideal landscape with peasants by the house on the river bank was created by good listed and high qouted Italian architecture and landscape painter Federico Moia (also Moja or Moya), born 1802 in Milan - died 1885 in Dolo by Venice.

For some paintings by the artist sold with high results see additional photos.

Born into a family of artists, Moja began studying at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in 1818 and became a pupil of Giovanni Migliara at the same time. His early work is characterised by perspective urban views, monastery interiors and subjects of a historical and literary nature addressed in strict accordance with his masters teachings. A stay in Paris and trips to France between 1830 and 1834 provided new subjects that were painted repeatedly, sometimes at intervals of many years. In 1841, when Luigi Bush established his position on the Milanese art scene, Moja moved to Venice, where he was appointed professor of perspective at the Academy of Fine Arts in 1845. He began to specialise in vedute of Venice and cities in the Veneto region, which were sent regularly to the exhibitions of the Milan Academy of Fine Arts and to the Turin Società Promotrice di Belle Arti, and was probably involved in the decoration of Palazzo Reale in Venice in 1855. In 1875, at the end of his academic appointment, he retired to Dolo and continued to paint the same subjects with no variation in a now repetitive and outmoded pictorial style.

Works by F.Moia situate in the Academy in Florence and in the Residenz museum in Salzburg.
