2 unusual facts about Giacomo Ceruti


Giacomo Ceruti

A characteristic painting is his Woman with a Dog (seen above) which portrays a rather plain subject sympathetically and without idealization.

The realism Ceruti brought to his genre paintings also distinguishes his portraits and still lifes, while it is less apparent in his somewhat conventional decorative paintings for churches, including frescoes for the Basilica de Gandino and an altarpiece for Santa Lucia in Padua.
