GHISLANDI, Giuseppe
(b. 1655, Bergamo, d. 1743, Bergamo)

Young Painter in His Studio

c. 1730

From the 1710s, Ghislandi depicted eccentrically garbed young men, often represented as painters or sculptors with their respective tools. The artist always created these paintings based on the observation of real models, however, these canvases were not regarded as true portraits but lovely genre paintings.
