context_page_description: Scipione Vannutelli was an Italian painter, active in a Romantic style.
  His father was opposed to his study of art, but ultimately found a position as a pupil of Tommaso Minardi, then of the Viennese painter, Karl Wursinger, and later studied in Paris. He was successful in the Parisian Salon exhibition of 1864 when he gained the praise of art historian Léon Lagrange. He continued to paint mainly historical subjects depicting, for example Fra Girolamo Savonarola, Mary Stuart at the Scaffold, and the Funeral of Juliet. He had a studio in the Palazzo Pamphili on Piazza Navona. He was named as the superintendent of the Royal Calcografia Ministry. His daughter Giuseppina Vannutelli was also a painter.
  In 1864, he was awarded a medal at the Paris Exposition for his canvas:Stroll of the Noblemen under the Ducal Palace of Venice, which typified his fidelity to architecture and costume of the period of the Venetian republic. He also painted An Idyll and a Choir of Cathedral, a painting acquired by Mr Edwin Morgan of New York.
