The same year, he won the gold medal in the competition with the painting Andrea Contarini forced to accept the Duchy of Venice (Venice, Gallerie dell’Accademia, Depositi). In 1853, Ghedina returned to Cortina d’Ampezzo and received an order to make frescoes depicting the Virgin between the saints Rocco and Sebastiano and the Sermon of the Baptist in the parish church of Ss. Filippo and Giacomo. He subsequently carried out numerous commissions for churches and cathedrals, and also worked for individuals such as in Venice, in the palace of the Counts of Papadopoli.
In 1880, in Pieve di Cadore, he participated in the inauguration of the Monument to Titian, whose drawing of the pedestal he had sketched. Between 1880 and 1883, while continuing to work, he assumed the technical and administrative direction of the Cortina School of Art.

- Painting "The Round of the Nymphs", Signed Henry Picou, France, Circa 1870By Henri-Pierre PicouLocated in PARIS, FRSigned on the bottom right Henry Picou. Charming mythological scene representing a round of nymphs, symbol of fertility and benevolence, wearing crowns of flowers and dancing in the middle of a wheat field. They are accompanied by playful winged cupids flying around them and throwing flowers. Author of genre and portrait scenes, Henry Picou has mainly distinguished himself, in the neo-Greek movement of the second half of the 19th Century, in the representation of allegorical paintings thanks to his delicate and colorful touch. Born on July 27th, 1824 in Nantes and died on July 17th, 1895 in Paris, Henry-Pierre Picou is an history, portrait and genre scenes painter, who has distinguished himself in the Neo-greek movement. Entering at twelve years old in the workshop of the painter Paul Delaroche, he then follows Charles Gleyre’s teaching in the Ecole Royale des Beaux-Arts de Paris. In Paris, he becomes friend with young painters among which Jean-Léon Gérôme, Gustave Boulanger and Jean-Louis Hamon. This group, who is passionate about recent discoveries about Roman and Greek antiquity, starts exposing in the Salon in 1847, and Jean-Léon Gérôme’s painting, le Combat de coqs, awarded with a gold medal, allows them to be noticed and devotes Gérôme as the leader of this new Neo-greek movement.
