Born in Venice in 1872, Vittore Antonio Cargnel enrolled at the Venice Academy in 1888, but his training took place mainly in the studio of Cesare Laurenti, a well-known and respected painter of Symbolist tendency, and in the observation of the works of Ciardi, Favretto and Nono.In 1895 he participated in the I Biennale with a work, Averte faciem tuam, domine, a peccatis meis, which is clearly under the sign of Nono and Laurenti, and which was marked with the prize of the president of the jury, William Michael Rossetti. He also participated in the 2nd and 3rd Biennales, again with works of a character between the symbolist and the intimist, while in 1901 he was present at the Paris Salon, in St. Petersburg and Leipzig, and finally at the 8th International Exhibition in Munich, with landscape paintings in which a painting very attentive to atmospheric vibration was being defined. In 1900 he moved near Treviso, where he set up his own bell foundry; in 1910 another move, this time to Sacile, where he would stay until the defeat of Caporetto.In 1924 he became an honorary member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Brera. Meanwhile, he continued his exhibition activities, which saw significant stages, in Italy and Europe.Cargnel died in Milan in 1931. Several retrospectives were dedicated to him throughout the 20th century.
