Hermann David Salomon Corrodi (1844–1905) was an Italian painter of the 19th Century.[1][2][3]
Corrodi was born in Frascati[3] (an alternate source lists his birth place as Zurich)[4] and lived for many years in Rome.[4]" Corrodi studied at the Accademia di S. Luca under his father, Salomon Corrodi (1810–1892) and in Paris (1872).[1] He received commissions for history paintings from the British royal family and was acquainted with most of the European royalty of the time, including a friendship with Queen Victoria[4] and traveled widely in the Far East, including Egypt, Syria, Cyprus and Istanbul, which provided the subject matter for many of his paintings.[1] He is the brother of Arnold Corrodi. Originally a landscape painter in the academic style, much of his work is also typical of the Orientalism style of the 19th century.[1][5] In 1893 he was knighted 'Accademico di Merito' by the Accademia di San Luca where he had been a professor.[2][3]
Corrodi's work is in the Frye Art Museum in Seattle, WA, the Dahesh Museum of Art in New York, Qatar National Museum, and Museo di Roma in Trastevere.
