Giuseppe Modorati

Giuseppe Modorati (1827–1923)[1] was an Italian painter.

He was a resident of Milan, and studied at the Brera Academy.[2] He later served as custodian of the Museum galleries of the Brera.[3] In that role, he often performed restorations.

He was prolific and eclectic, painting history, sacred, and genre subjects, as well as portraits. In 1880 at Turin, he exhibited: Christ at Gesthemane. In 1883 at Milan, he exhibited: The Garibaldini and the Bersaglieri of Manara defend the Breach of Rome in 1849, and a half-figure titled: Pensierosa. In 1886 at the National Exposition, he exhibited: Troppo tardi; Rifugio d'amore; Placido sonno, and Le sirene, a charcoal drawing.[4]
