Descrizione:
The artist, devoted friend and favourite painter of the Genoese patriot, performed this portrait from life during Mazzini’s period of exile in London. The goal was to print engravings to be sold to raise funds for the Italian cause.
It is the only portrait, before the widespread introduction of photography, which Mazzini considered as being a good likeness and, as such, he sent it to his mother in Genoa.
