Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione
Baroque Painter, draftsman, and printmaker
(Genoa, Italy, 1609 - 1664, Mantua, Italy)
ULAN note: Versatile and eclectic artist open to foreign influence which was unusual for an Italian artist of his time. Some of his best-known works are somewhat fantastical. He was court painter at Mantua from 1648.
