Carlo Ceresa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carlo Ceresa (1609-1679) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period mainly active around Bergamo.
His early life and training are poorly recorded and best summarized by the statement, that he likely trained in Bergamo, visited Venice, yet esconced himself in the small town of San Giovanni Bianco in Val Bembrana. Mostly recalled for his portraiture, he also painted altarpieces and religious works in an understated fashion. In portraitature, elegant but naturalistic, he filled the Northern Italian interlude between Giovanni Battista Moroni and Fra' Galgario.
