| Nota biografica |
Trasferitosi in Gran Bretagna nel 1857, per motivi ancora sconosciuti, per quasi vent’anni partecipò regolarmente alle principali esposizioni pubbliche con ritratti e scene di genere, restando però fuori dal circuito delle gallerie commerciali. I titoli di molte opere suggeriscono che abbia sempre mantenuto un’identità italiana, ma non sembra che sia mai tornato in patria, benché nominato Socio onorario dell’Accademia di Firenze nel 1876. Nel 1877 venne ricoverato sei mesi per infermità mentale al Bethlem Hospital di Londra, dove poi muore.
For reasons as yet unknown, Amiconi removed to Great Britain some time before 1859, and for almost twenty years regularly presentes portraits and genre scenes at the principal public exhibitions, while remaining outside the commercial ambit. The titles of many of his works suggest that he retained his Italian identity, although it does not seem that he ever returned to Italy, depite being nominated Honorary Member of the Florentine Accademia in 1876. He died in 1877 (or 1878) in Bethlem Hospital in London, after six months’admittance for mental infirmity. |
