Carpioni
Giulio Carpioni
c. 1613-1678
Venetian School. Born 1612; died 1679. He is plausibly reputed to have been a pupil of Padovanino, presumably in Venice, where he was influenced also by the early style of Titian, whose famous Bacchanals Padovanino copied. It was through Pietro Testa, probably, that Carpioni came to emulate Poussin, especially in his mythological and allegorical compositions. By 1638 Carpioni was settled in Vicenza, where he came into close contact with Maffei and where he remained through most of his career, as painter, draftsman, and engraver. It is interesting to note that the kind of putti; habitually painted by Carpioni, as is especially evident when they are shown suspended in air, are striking prototypes of Tiepolo's characteristic putti.
