Carlo Maria Viganoni (28 January 1786, in Piacenza – 8 November 1839) was an Italian painter, active in the Neoclassic style.

Biography

At the age of 20, Viganoni began studies under Giuseppe Gherardi at the Istituto Gazzola in Piacenza; two years later in 1808, he moved to Rome to work under Gaspare Landi. He painted a Redeemer (1814) for the church of Draghignan in Provence. He became an honorary associate of Academy of St Luke in 1822, and the next year academic of merit.[1]

His connection in Rome to Landi, gained him a commission as one of the artist to help decorate the new church of San Francesco di Paola in Naples. Viganoni painted a canvas depicting Sant'Andrea Avellino. Returning to Piacenza by 1830, he was much in demand for portraits and sacred subjects. He painted a portrait of Cardinal Angelo Mai, Pope Pius VII, and the bishops Scribani and Loschi. He painted a Sacred Heart for the Duomo of Piacenza and a San Luigi Gonzaga for the church of San Paolo in Piacenza. He gained a post as teacher for the Instituto Gazzola.[2]
