    Ettore Forti
    Ettore or Eduardo Ettore Forti was an Italian painter, who was prolific in depicting
    realistic Neo-Pompeian scenes of Ancient Roman life and events. These subjects were
    popular in the late-Victorian period, as exemplified by the popularity of Lawrence Alma-
    Tadema.[1]
    There is little definitive information available about Forti's biography. His paintings
    are signed with his name and Rome. Different sources can not cite a place of birth or birth
    date, and do not agree about a birth date. Nothing is known of his training. Many sources
    claim he was active a few decades before and after 1900. He exhibited in Berlin between
    1893 and 1897. He exhibited at the Mostra della Romana Società degli Amatori e Cultori
    in 1905.[2]
    One favorite topic is an salesman displaying artwork, jewelry, or rugs to well-
    dressed female patrician women, often in elegant settings.
