The wavering lights of Naples, the glittering blues and greens of the sea, and the serene whispers of the culture of this fascinating city were the childhood scenes of Francesco De Mura, one of the most important painters of the transition between Baroque and Classicism. Born on April 21, 1696, De Mura grew up in a world surrounded by the beauty of art. From this point he began a journey that would leave his signature on the path of art history. De Mura began his artistic training in 1709 under Domenico Viola before moving to the school of Francesco Solimena, where he remained until 1730, emerging as Solimena's most important student and collaborator. It was during this crucial period that De Mura developed his personal style, blending the beauty and splendor of the Baroque with the clean lines and balanced proportions of the emerging Classicism. His skills as a decorative painter and colorist were unsurpassed, and his work can undoubtedly rival that of Tiepolo. Our high quality fine art prints, specializing in the reproduction of his works, are a testament to his extraordinary artistic finesse.
De Mura's extraordinary career took him beyond Naples to the cities of Caiazzo, Capua, Montecassino, Salerno, Foggia and Turin, where he adorned the walls of churches and palaces with his stunning frescoes and panel paintings. His works, which are kept alive by our precise art prints, are testimonies of his artistic development and his impressive skill. In 1741 he was appointed to the royal court of Turin, where he painted frescoes with mythological themes in the Palazzo Reale. Amidst the royal splendor, De Mura also found time to broaden his artistic horizons, collaborating with important artists such as the architects Filippo or Juvara Juvarra and Benedetto Alfieri, and the painter Corrado Giaquinto. Francesco De Mura returned to Naples in 1743 and was appointed court painter to the Bourbon kings. His skills and talent were not limited to his own generation. He taught Elia Interguglielmi and Pietro Bardellino, who developed their own creativity under his careful eye. Our exquisite art prints of De Mura's masterpieces are more than just reprints of his paintings. They are testaments to the artistic journey of a man who was a master of 18th century color and form. A look at our art prints reveals not only the depth of De Mura's artistic vision, but also the rich cultural heritage he passed on with every brushstroke. Francesco De Mura died on August 19, 1782, but his art, which remains alive through our art prints, is a constant testament to his genius and artistic virtuosity.
