Biography
Birelli was born in Castelnuovo di Val di Cecina in 1859.[1] Educated in Tuscany, he was active in Florence during the 1880s and 1890s. In this period he painted his best‑known work La conversione dell'innominato (c. 1881, Lecco, Villa Manzoni)[2][3] and A captive audience (c. 1890 circa, private collection).
Between 1891 and 1894 he exhibited at the Münchener Jahresausstellung[4][5][6][7] and also in San Francisco, California.[1]
At the beginning of the 20th century, a long illness slowed and eventually ended his artistic career. He died in Terni in 1928.[1]
