Bernardo Strozzi

1460/1461-1528

Genoese School. Born 1581; died 1644. His first master was a Sienese painter, Pietro Sorri, who was briefly active in Genoa. But Strozzi was more strongly influenced by Barocci, the Milanese Procaccini and Cerano, by the Flemings, especially Rubens and van Dyck, and eventually by the Venetians, whom he in turn influenced during his long sojourn in Venice (1630-44). Through his various religious affiliations Strozzi came to be called 'Il Capuccino' and 'Il Prete Genovese.'
