Emilio Magistretti1897
Ca’ Granda – Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico
Milan, Italy
Ferdinando Repossi (1813-1897), a grain merchant, benefits from the Ospedale Maggiore, giving it a house he owns in Corso Lodi for a modest sum, from which the Ca 'Granda derives a good profit from the sale. The commission of the portrait is entrusted to Emilio Magistretti, who underlines in the painting the solid bourgeois extraction of the benefactor.
