Renato Vernizzi (1904 in Parma – 1972 in Milan) was an Italian painter.

Biography

Vernizzi enrolled at the Parma Academy of Fine Arts in 1922. Having moved to Milan in 1927, he came into contact with the painting of the Novecento Italiano group, which he soon abandoned in favour of Chiarismo. Participation in the Settimana dell’Arte exhibition organised by the newspaper L’Ambrosiano in 1934 brought him to the attention of critics and opened a period of success that reached its climax with the 20th Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte della Città di Venezia in 1936. A work exhibited at the Seconda Provinciale del Sindacato Fascista di Belle Arti was bought by the Galleria d’Arte Moderna, Milan, in 1940 and the artist was awarded the Bergamo Prize in 1941. He focused on portraits and works of an intimist nature after World War II and joined the Cenacolo di Via Bagutta. He started teaching at the Parma Institute of Art in 1955.
