Julie Corneo (c. 1775–1825) was an Italian miniature painter.




Biography


Julie (Giulia) Corneo born Grassi was a drawing teacher in the first years of 19th century at the College of the Noble Maidens of Milan. She was married with the landscape painter Gian Battista Corneo and in 1802 she is mentioned by Ugo Foscolo in the correspondence with Antonietta Fagnani Arese, Fosoclo's lover, in relation to the commission of her portrait miniature. The artist was in relationship not only with Giovanni Battista Gigola but also with Johann Dominik Bossi to whom she sent some works to be judged in Brera Academy in 1804. In the following year she participated to the event organized for the coronation of Napoleon as king of Italy and later, together her husband, lived in Paris for some years. Returned to Italy she continued to teach drawing and paint miniatures for the important families of Milan such as Belgioioso Crivelli Serbelloni Serbelloni and Sommariva. She probably died in the early months of 1825, when she was already a widow, in fact the court of Milan in March of that year summoned her heirs.




Artwork


Her style was influenced not only by Cigola and Bossi but also by Antoine-Paul Vincent (1790 - 1825). She created works of refined execution with very dense brush strokes that highlight the modeling of the faces. Lenticular attention to details and great study of the introspective and psychological dimension of the sitters.
