Artist
Giovanni Ghisolfi
Giovanni Ghisolfi is a Byzantine icon painting artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at National Museum of Art of Romania.
Giovanni Ghisolfi painted scenes from the Bible, like Abraham și Melhisedec, in the late 1600s. He worked in Rome, where grand church ceilings often showed stories from the Old Testament. These paintings mix architecture and drama, giving the figures real space to move.
If you like crowded, story-filled scenes with dramatic lighting, tap into his Abraham și Melhisedec to see how he painted light and shadow together.
