Bartolomeo Bezzi | Genre painter

Bartolomeo Bezzi (1851-1923) was an Italian painter.

Dividing his time between Milan, Verona and his native region of Val di Sole, he experimented with life painting.

In 1890 he moved to Venice and came into contact with the lively intellectual environment in the city: in 1895 he was one of the promoters of the 1st Venice Biennale and was a member of the organising committee at some of the later exhibitions.
He also received recognition abroad, winning the gold medal at the International Exhibition in Munich in 1892 and the silver medal at the Exposition Universelle in Paris in 1900.
During the second decade of the 20th century he lived first in Rome and then in Verona, finally settling in Clès, in Val di Non.
