Alfredo Tominz
Alfredo Tominz (J. HARWEY) was a painter of horses and hunting scenes. Born in 1854. He attended a private school in Munich directed by Emil Adam along with his brother Franz. Tominz exhibited his first work, Triga romana, in 1873 and participated in various exhibitions in Vienna, Milan, Turin, Trieste, and Padua. He became the director of the Revoltella Museum of Trieste from 1883 to 1925, succeeding his father. Tominz is known for his elegant horses, which are depicted in full movement, giving the impression of a mad rush. He is considered a master of this painting style due to his careful anatomical study of the animal and the different breeds, qualities, and characteristics of the horse. The artist died in 1936.
