Plinio Nomellini was an Italian painter. He was born in 1866 in Livorno. Already as a child his parents enabled him to take painting lessons. At the age of 19 he moved to Florence, after he had successfully applied for a scholarship at the Academy of Fine Arts. Nomellini followed with great interest the courses of Giovanni Fattori, a painter also from Livorno, who quickly recognized Nomellini's talent and from then on encouraged him. Through him he learned the effect of light. Nomellini also spent time with his teacher in addition to teaching. He was co-founder of the Macchiaioli group of artists, which was committed to the implementation of realism. Nomellini regularly took part in the meetings of the Macchiaoli group at the Caffè Michelangiolo.
Already at his first exhibitions, visitors recognized Nomellini's talent for lighting. His pictures stood out from the crowd. An extraordinary achievement! Diego Martelli, a well-known Italian art critic, also praised the art student in his reviews, which in retrospect served his success. After his studies, the painter moved to Genoa. Over the years he devoted himself to artistic research and continued to develop his style. During this time, the working class in Liguria revolted. Nomellini captured the protests in several works of art. Impressively, he was able to convey the mood of the place to the viewer - thanks to his talent for light and color.
Meanwhile he exhibited his works at large international art exhibitions in Milan. His independent style was popular and always attracted positive attention. Later he also devoted himself to landscape painting. He travelled through Tuscany and was impressed by the flora and fauna there. He painted people working in the fields, observed animals and nature with all his senses. An irrepressible, creative power spurted out of him. He fell in love with the area so much that he finally moved to the coastal town of Viareggio. His house became a meeting place for intellectuals. He also regularly took part in major exhibitions in Rome, Florence and the Venice Biennale. He returned to Florence shortly before his death. Here he died during the Second World War, in 1943. Nomellini was 77 years old.
