Orlando, Bernardo

Orlando, Bernardo a Piedmontese painter, flourished at Turin in the first part of the 17th century. At that time the rich collections of pictures and drawings in the royal galleries at the court were male subservient to the instruction of young artists, which was intrusted to a painter of the court. Orlandt was invested with this charge, and appointed painter to the duke in 1617. But we call attention to him here because he also painted some pictures for churches.
