Gregorio Lazzarini (1657 – 10 November 1730) was an

Giambattista Tiepolo, who joined his workshop in 1710 at the age of fourteen.[2]
His own style was somewhat eclectic.

Life

Born in Venice, the son of a barber,[n 1] he was the brother of the proficient painter, Elisabetta Lazzarini (1662–1729). He trained initially with the Genovese painter Francesco Rosa, then with Girolamo Forabosco, and lastly in the studio of Pietro della Vecchia.[2]

He joined the

Venetian Republic. He was a prolific painter.[3] He was reputed to be a patient teacher who imparted a broad knowledge of artistic styles for the portrayal of mythological and historical subjects; according to his contemporary biographer, Vincenzo da Canal, "the young who desired to get ahead in the pictorial arts chose Lazzarini as their master".[4][n 2] Other pupils of Lazzarini included Gaspare Diziani[2] and Bartolomeo Ignazio Capello.[6]

Some of his works decorate the Sala dello Scrutinio of the

Venetian school.[2]

Notes

  1. ^ The contemporary biography, Vita di Gregorio Lazzarini by Vincenzo da Canal, which was originally compiled in 1732 (published, 1809), provides an essential source of information on Lazzarini's life and works.[3]
  2. ^ A nobleman from Vicenza, da Canal wished to record the achievements of teacher and student alike.[4] He acknowledges that Tiepolo quickly abandoned Lazzarini's "diligent manner, and, being all fire and spirit, adopted one that was rapid and free".[5]
