Crespi
Giuseppe Maria Crespi
1665-1747
Bolognese School. Born 1665; died 1747. His earliest training was under Burrini and other local artists, but he was probably influenced more by the early work of Guercino. In his travels he was strongly affected by the rich color of the Venetians and by the chiaroscuro of Correggio. In turn, his style helped prepare the way for the culmination of Venetian brilliance of style in Tiepolo, for not only Pietro Longhi, but also Piazzetta, the master of Tiepolo, studied under Crespi. His large mythological pictures are distinguished by brilliant brushwork; his small religious genre and pure genre scenes are remarkably modern in giving what seem to be glimpses of familiar figures and events.
