Born in Italy, he immigrated to the United States, where he gained recognition for his depictions of high society figures, Native Americans, and landscapes. Sandonà’s art blended European academic techniques with a looser, expressive brushwork reminiscent of Impressionism. His use of color and light brought warmth and depth to his subjects, capturing their essence with remarkable sensitivity. His works remain admired for their elegance and emotional resonance, securing his place as a significant artist of the early 20th century.
