BUSI, LUIGI. - Painter, b. in Bologna on 1/8 May 1838, d. there on 2 June 1884. In Rome, where he perfected his studies in painting, he formed friendships with the leading figures of the artistic renewal, and moderately followed in their footsteps, as demonstrated by the works in fresco and in oil that he produced after returning to his native city; works in which the concern for the subject, rendered with impeccable drawing, prevails over lyrical emotion.
Among these, mention should be made of the Martyrdom of the Two Saints in the Church of Sts. Vitalis and Agricola in Bologna, Jacob and Rachel, the Daughter of Jephthah and, for the polemical significance it holds, the painting entitled Consequences of a merely religious marriage (1875).
