Descriptive Note
Edoardo Gioia received the first training from his father, also a painter, and specialized in portraiture and genre and landscape painting.
He was later influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite movement and went on to favor symbolist and art nouveau themes, though he often used photography as the starting point for his paintings. In 1919 he moved to London, where he worked as portraitist until his death in 1937.
He was a close friend of Adolfo De Carolis. For the 1911 Exposition, he completed 13 allegorical panels for the Padiglione delle Feste in Rome representing Victorious Italy between Intelligence and Strength. 11 of these panels are now at the Galleria nazionale d'arte moderna in Rome. He also drew the allegorical figures for the lottery tickets for the 1911 Exposition.
