Pompeo Pozzi

Pompeo Pozzi (1817–1888) was an Italian painter, but is best known for his photographs.
Pozzi studied at the Brera Academy of Art, and was a resident of Milan. He mainly painted alpine landscapes and seascapes. 
The painter Luigi Sacchi in 1859 began publishing an art and photography magazine titled "L Artista" from Pozzi's studio. Many of Pozzi's photographs are now at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
