Guido Agostini was an Italian painter active mainly between about 1865 and 1898.
He is generally described as a Tuscan landscape painter.
Some sources list his active years as 1869–1902.
Agostini specialised in landscapes and “vedute” (views) — often depicting Tuscan countryside, towns, and other Italian locales like Liguria, the Tuscan hills, Valdarno, Val d’
...Elsa, and even coastal views.
His works were done in oil on canvas, oil on board or on cardboard, sometimes with oval format — a style common in 19th-century Italian painting.
Some paintings are city / coastal views (e.g. of Livorno, Amalfi) while others show countryside, often with atmospheric light and a somewhat romantic sensibility typical of the period.
Under the pseudonym Ettore Altrui, Agostini exhibited works between 1865 and 1898.
His exhibition activity began around 1869, when he took part in the “Solemn Exhibition of the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts” in Florence, showing a work titled “View of the Villa Bellini near the Vingone Bridge.”
He continued exhibiting there regularly up until around 1902 — with for example in the final known exhibition a painting titled “Genzano on Lake Nemi (Roman countryside).”
In 1871, he exhibited at the exhibition of the Society for the Promotion of Fine Arts in Genoa (with works including “Monte Pizzo d’Uccello near Carrara”), and continued to show there regularly until 1897.
In 1888, one of his works — “Colle di Val d’Elsa” — was exhibited at the 47th edition of the Exhibition of the Society for the Promotion of Fine Arts in Turin
