Together with Girolamo Induno and Giovanni Fattori, he is one of the main representatives of the "artist of the soldier", as well as one of the greatest military painters. He is also one of the greatest representatives of Italian Risorgimento painting. He was inspector general of the Pinacoteca Brera from 1882 to 1906.
Rafael Pontremoli studied painting at the Academy of Arts in Nice and at the Albertina Academy in Turin.
During the Second Italian War of Independence he worked as a correspondent and created many accurate artistic descriptions of battle episodes.
