Cesare Tallone was an Italian painter. After having taken drawing and painting lessons in his youth, he enrolled at the Accademia di Brera in Milan in 1872. During his studies, Tallone won several prizes for his history paintings. After graduating, he went to Rome in 1880, where he quickly established himself as a portrait painter. In 1885, Tallone was appointed professor at the academy of fine arts in Bergamo. During his time in Bergamo, he produced numerous expressive life-size portraits against neutral backgrounds as well as small-format still lifes and landscapes. In 1899, Tallone took over the chair of painting at the Accademia di Brera in Milan and but also remained to be a sought-after portrait painter. In addition to effigies produced of the Milanese nobility, he also painted numerous portraits of models, which are less formal than his commissioned works.
