Rosina Mantovani Gutti (1851–1943) was an Italian painter known for painting children.
The Peacemaker
Life
Gutti was born in Rome, then part of the Papal States. Her work The Peacemaker was included in the book Women Painters of the World.[1] This became a popular print and was the primary illustration on an Australian poster for WWI war bonds.[2] The image was also used on a Canadian WWI poster "For Your Children Buy War Savings Certificates and they will live to thank you". A sketch of this group titled "Three infants" is in the collection of the British National Trust.[3]
She is known for portraits of children, but she also made a portrait of the actress Eleonora Duse. Gutti died in Rome in 1943. Her published work was in copyright until 2013.
