About
Bernardo Strozzi, named il Cappuccino and il Prete Genovese, was an Italian Baroque artist who was a painter and engraver. A canvas and fresco artist, his wide subject range included history, allegorical, genre, and portrait paintings as well as still lifes. Born and initially mainly active in Genoa, he worked in Venice in the latter part of his career. His work exercised considerable influence on artistic developments in both cities. He is considered a principal founder of the Baroque style in Venetian painting. His powerful art stands out by its rich and glowing colour and broad, energetic brushstrokes.
