Evaristo Baschenis
Evaristo Baschenis (7 December 1617 – 16 March 1677) was an Italian Baroque painter of the 17th century, active mainly around his native city of Bergamo. Biography He was born to a family of artists. He is best known for still lifes, most commonly of musical instruments. This could explain his friendship with a family with notable violin makers from Cremona. ''Still-life'' depiction were uncommon as a thematic among Italian painters prior to the 17th century. Baschenis, along with the more eccentric 16th-century painter Milanese Arcimboldo, represents provincial outputs with idiosyncratic tendencies that appear to appeal to the discernment of forms and shapes rather than grand manner themes of religious or mythologic events. For Arcimboldo, the artifice is everything; for Baschenis, the items, man-made musical instruments, have a purpose and a beauty even in their silent geometry. One source for his photographic style of still life could be Caravaggio's early painting of peaches, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Zeuxis (painter)
Zeuxis (; ) (of Heraclea Lucania, Heraclea) was a late 5th-century- early 4th-century BCE Greek artist famed for his ability to create images that appeared highly realistic. None of his works survive, but anecdotes about Zeuxis' art and life have been referenced often in the history and literature of art and in Aesthetics, art theory. Much of the information about Zeuxis comes from Pliny the Elder's ''Natural History (Pliny), Natural History'', but his work is also discussed by Xenophon and Aristotle. One of the most famous stories about Zeuxis centers on an artistic competition with the artist Parrhasius (painter), Parrhasius to prove which artist could create a greater illusion of nature. Zeuxis, Timanthes and Parrhasius (painter), Parrhasius were painters of the Ionian School of painting. The Ionian School flourished during the 4th century BCE. Life and work Zeuxis was born in Heraclea in 464 BCE, probably Heraclea Lucania, in the present-day region of Basilicata in the s ...

It contains one of the foremost collections of Italian paintings from the 13th to the 20th century, an outgrowth of the cultural program of the Brera Academy, which shares the site in the Palazzo Brera.

The convent on the site passed to the Jesuits (1572), then underwent a radical rebuilding by Francesco Maria Richini (1627–28).

Apelles
Apelles of Kos (; ; fl. 4th century BC) was a renowned Painting, painter of ancient Greece. Pliny the Elder, to whom much of modern scholars' knowledge of this artist is owed (''Natural History (Pliny), Naturalis Historia'' 35.36.79–97 and ''passim''), rated him superior to preceding and subsequent artists. He dated Apelles to the 112th Olympiad (332–329 BC), possibly because he had produced a portrait of Alexander the Great. Biography Probably born at Colophon (city), Colophon in Ionia, he first studied under Ephorus of Ephesus, but after he had attained some celebrity, he became a student of Pamphilus (painter), Pamphilus at Sicyon; he thus combined the Dorians, Dorian thoroughness with the Ionians, Ionic grace. Attracted to the court of Philip II of Macedon, Philip II, he painted him and the young Alexander with such success that he became the recognized court painter of Macedon, and his picture of Alexander holding a thunderbolt ranked in the minds of many with the Ale ...
