Artist
Enrico Meneghelli
American, b. 1853
Enrico Meneghelli is an American Impressionism artist. 5 works are cataloged here, principally at Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
Enrico Meneghelli painted quiet, detailed views of museum galleries in late-1800s Boston. These oil paintings show shelves of framed art, empty chairs, and soft light catching the wood floors—like snapshots of the old Museum of Fine Arts on Copley Square. Five works in the collection stick to this exact subject: The Picture Gallery in the Old Museum and its close cousins. Step closer to any of them and you’ll feel the hush of a room waiting for visitors.
