Giuseppe Tominz was an Italian painter the name by which he signed his paintings was Giuseppe Tominz or G. Tominz, you must then change the name of the article. --AleR (talk) 09:00, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the article should be entitled with the name he most commonly used. However, the designation "Italian painter" is not uncontroversial. By ethnic background, he was Slovene, by citizenship Austrian; on the other hand, it's true, that he worked in a mostly Italian cultural milieu and identified with it. All of this should be reflected in the article. Viator slovenicus (talk) 03:12, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't documentation that says that was part of ethnic Slovene, where are the sources? --AleR (talk) 07:08, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Giuseppe Tominz

Giuseppe Tominz (6 July 1790 – 24 April 1866) was an Italian-Slovenian portrait painter. His work was influenced by late Classicism and the style of Viennese artists of the Biedermeier period. The individuals in his portraits have sharp features and clear forms, but despite this the depictions are realistic, sometimes with an ironic touch. The backgrounds are filled with landscapes or the city from which the person depicted originated.

Tominz painted this oil-on-canvas portrait of Pietro Stanislao Parisi and his family in 1849. Parisi was head of a trading company, still active in Trieste today; the shipping visible in the background represents the family's mercantile interests. The painting is currently held in a private collection in Rome.
