Picenardi, Carlo (2)

(called The Younger), son of the preceding, was born about 1610. It is not known by whom he was instructed; but, after studying at Rome, ihe went to Venice, and formed a style of his own, Roman in design and Venetian in coloring. On his return to Cremona he executed some works for the churches and public edifices, but painted most for the collections. Lanzi says he was very successful in burlesque histories, in imitation of the elder Picenardi. He died about the year 1680.
