Italian painter (1837-1878)
Tranquillo Cremona was an Italian painter. His paintings have a windswept style, lacking the linearity of Francesco Hayez and other academics. His technique recalls the pittura de tocco e di macchia practiced by painters such as Titian, Rembrandt, and 18th-century Northern Italian Baroque masters such as Giuseppe Maria Crespi, Francesco Guardi, Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, and Giuseppe Bazzani.
