Pietro Longhi是一位威尼斯画家，他掌握了日常威尼斯生活场景的写照。出生的Pietro Falca，当他开始绘画时，他把自己的姓氏改成了亚历山德罗·隆吉。小时候，他的父亲鼓励他的绘画天赋，后来他在著名的历史画家安东尼奥·巴莱斯特拉的指导下在维罗纳学习。和他的早期导师一样，亚历山德罗·隆吉开始了他的绘画生涯，描绘了伟大的历史主题。龙井的画作《巨人的倒下》未获好评，在1741年由当代画家朱塞佩·玛利亚·克雷斯皮（Giuseppe Maria Crespi）指导下，他转而画室内小景物。龙海没有像同时代的人一样描绘威尼斯巨大的建筑辉煌或装饰图案，而是成为了当代威尼斯生活的编年史。这样的话，他所有的绘画几乎都超出了威尼斯艺术的主流，这充满了宏伟的历史和宗教周期。亚历山德罗·隆吉在他的一生中非常受欢迎，用一部轻松的社会喜剧来描绘明亮的场面。许多展品展示威尼斯人在玩耍，记录一个典型的威尼斯公民的日常活动，如去理发店、猎鸭、赌博或在动物园看展览。亚历山德罗·隆吉也是一位很有造诣的绘图员，他的许多画都是为自己着想的。许多画不是为未来的绘画做草图，而是为了艺术家自己的享受。陇熙不仅是一位画家，一生中大部分时间还教绘画和绘画，并建立了绘画和雕刻学院。他的遗产还包括通过绘画记录威尼斯人的日常生活，还有他的儿子亚历桑德罗·隆吉，他本人也是一位有成就的艺术家。

Pietro Longhi was a Venetian painter, who mastered the portrayal of scenes of everyday Venetian life. Born Pietro Falca, he changed his last name to Longhi when he began painting. As a child, his father encouraged his natural talent for drawing, and he later studied under the acclaimed history painter Antonio Balestra in Verona. Like his early mentor, Longhi began his painting career with history paintings, depicting grand historical themes. After the unsuccessful reception of his painting Fall of the Giants, Longhi transitioned to painting small interior scenes under the tutelage of a painter of contemporary life, Giuseppe Maria Crespi, turning to them completely by 1741. Rather than paint the vast architectural glory of Venice or decorative schemes like his contemporaries, Longhi became the chronicler of contemporary Venetian life. A such, almost all of his paintings were outside of the mainstream of Venetian art, which was filled with grand historical and religious cycles.
Longhi was extremely popular during his lifetime, painting bright scenes with a light social comedy. Many show Venetians at play, and chronicle the daily activities of a typical Venetian citizen, such as going to the barber’s, duck hunting, gambling, or watching an exhibition at the zoo. Longhi was also a very accomplished draftsman, and many of his drawings are beautiful for their own sake. Many of the drawings were not done as sketches for future paintings, but for the artist’s own enjoyment.
Not only a painter, Longhi also taught drawing and painting for much of his life, and founded an academy of painting and engraving. His legacy also includes both a chronicle of daily Venetian life though his paintings, as well as his son Alessandro Longhi, who was an accomplished artist in his own right.
