Filippo Franzoni was a painter, photographer and highly versatile artist in general, who was active in Milan and Ticino at the end of the 19th century. After having studied at the Accademia di Brera, he took several trips abroad, and subsequently spent most of his time between the Lombard capital and Locarno, where he was born. Initially, Franzoni's linear composition and love of naturalistic detail made his work resemble Lombard landscape painting, but later his freer and more expressive brushstrokes and bright colors applied in more abstract patches demonstrated to his affinity with the new European art movements and the Swiss milieu.
