Oreste Silvestri (Pollone in Vercelli, September 5, 1858 – Milan, November 24, 1936[1]) was an Italian painter.

Biography

He presented his works at many National Expositions. In 1889 at Turin, he displayed: Una giornata di Sole. In 1883 at the Fine Arts Exposition in Rome, he displayed Alla fontana. In 1884 at the Mostra of Fine Arts at Turin: Impressione d'Estate.[2] He also participated in many prominent restorations including in 1924 of the The Last Supper by Da Vinci.[3][4] He was also a formidable art collector and merchant. He was likely related to the portrait artist Carlo Silvestri (1821-1883), whose self-portrait he donated (1937) to the Galleria d'Arte Moderna in Milan.
