Giuseppe Ghezzi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giuseppe Ghezzi (Ascoli Piceno, 1634 - Rome, 1721) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Rome.
He was the son and pupil of the painter Sebastiano Ghezzi. He painted in the style of Pietro da Cortona. He was the first secretary in perpetuity for the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. He was the father of the more prominent caricaturist Pier Leone Ghezzi. Giuseppe was also a mentor to Pietro da Pietri (1634-1721).
On December 10 1676 he borrowed a number of privately owned works by Venetian masters and exhibited them in the cloisters of San Salvatore in Rome.[1].
