CRESPI, GIUSEPPE MARIA (166 1747)

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 412 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CRESPI, GIUSEPPE MARIA (166 1747) , Italian painter, called " Lo Spagnuolo " from his fondness for
rich
  apparel, was born at Bologna, and was trained under Angelo Toni, Domenico Canuti and Carlo Cignani. He then went through a course of copying from Correggio and
Barocci
 ; this he followed up with a journey to Venice for the
sake
  of Titian and Paul Veronese; and
late
  in
life
  he proclaimed himself a follower of Guercino and Pietro da Cortona. He was a good colourist and a facile executant, and was wont to employ the
camera
  obscura with
great
  success in the treatment of light and shadow; but he was careless and unconscientious. He was a clever portrait-painter and a brilliant caricaturist; and his etchings after
Rembrandt
  and Salvator are in some demand. His greatest
work
 , a " Massacre of the Innocents," is at Bologna; but the Dresden gallery possesses twelve examples of him, among which is his celebrated
series
  of the Seven Sacraments.
