PIAZZA, Callisto
Italian painter, Lombard school (b. ca. 1500, Lodi, d. ca. 1561, Lodi)
Early collaborative projects with Martino and Albertino remain problematic. He probably moved to Brescia in 1523; the first major extant dated work is a Nativity (1524; Brescia, Pin. Civ. Tosio-Martinengo), painted for S Clemente, Brescia. In Brescia he studied the work of Moretto da Brescia and of Gerolamo Romanino, with whom he may have collaborated. Their influence is seen in the Visitation (1525; Brescia, S Maria Calchera) and especially in the group of works painted for churches in the Valcamonica. These include a Deposition (1527; Esine parish church); a Virgin Enthroned with Saints (Breno, S Antonio); a frescoed lunette of the Virgin Enthroned with Saints Related Paintings of PIAZZA, Callisto :. | Portrait of a Young Man in Red3655 | Anne of France | Madonna of the Rocks | Country Tavern at Brannenburg | The Virgin and Child (detail) | Related Artists: Aron Gerlepainted Skargardsmotiv in 1860-1930 Eduard Magnus(January 7, 1799 - August 8, 1872) was a German painter.
