Govanni Benedetto Castiglione

Govanni Benedetto Castiglione (1609/16 - 1664/70) was active/lived in Italy.  Govanni Castiglione is known for Religious, allegorical, figure, genre painting.

Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, called "Grechetto", was a painter, engraver and prominent draftsman.  Very special figure in the Italian Baroque, he initially learned from Paggi in Genoa, then influenced by painters such as Bassano, Sinibaldo Scorza and several Flemish artists represented in the city, such as Van Dyck and Jan Roos. Later he expanded his training through numerous trips through Italian cities such as Rome, Naples, Venice or Mantua, enriching his style with Poussin's classicism or the Baroque impetus of Rubens. 

His works, always very personal and with a mysterious atmosphere, are usually characterized by the combination of figures, animals and still lifes in great pastoral or biblical compositions.  A very representative example is the work titled "Noe Conduciendo a los Animales al Arca", which develops one of the favorite themes in his career.  We find comparable examples from his youth, such as "Entrance of the animals in the ark[Displaying 1000 of 2723 characters.]  Artist bio
