Alberto Pisa

Alberto Pisa (1864-1936) was an Italian painter, often painting ruins, landscapes, and garden views in bright watercolour.

He was born in Ferrara and initially studied there with Gaetano Domenichini. He later studied at the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence.

His first work was a Church Interior, displayed at the Promotrice. In 1887, he sent canvases depicting the Church of Santa Maria Novella and the genre painting Donne e Madonne to the Exposition of Venice. 

He completed illustrations for books and journals, and completed a number of watercolours depicting views of Rome, Pompeii, and Florence.

The British collections include two local views: Westminster Bridge at Lancaster City Museums, and Hampstead Heath at Sheffield Museum.
