Alessandro Magnasco, an Italian late-Baroque painter, was born on February 4, 1667. He is known for his stylized and often phantasmagoric scenes, characterized by fragmented forms and swift brushstrokes. Active in Milan and Genoa, Magnasco's work continues to captivate with its unique blend of light and composition.
Magnasco's innovative style has left a lasting impact on the development of Italian Baroque and Rococo painting.
