Giovanni Andrea Ansaldo (1584 – August 18, 1638) was an Italian painter active mainly in Genoa. ==Life== Ansaldo was born in Voltri, now part of the ''comune'' of Genoa, the son of a merchant. He trained under Orazio Cambiasi and possibly collaborated with Bernardo Strozzi. Two of his pupils were Giuseppe Badaracco and Bartolomeo Bassi. One of his descendants was Innocenzo Ansaldo of Pescia〔(Cenni biografici dei personaggi illustri della città di Pescia e suoi dintorni ), by Giuseppe Ansaldi, (1872), page 406.〕 (February 12, 1734- February 16, 1816)〔Ansaldi, page 406, 411.〕 Ansaldo's works are typical of the Genoese eclecticism of the early 17th century, influenced by Flemish artists such as Rubens and Anthony van Dyck and the Milanese Giovanni Battista Crespi, Giulio Cesare Procaccini and ''il Morazzone''. Ansaldo is responsible for the fresco decoration of the cupola of the Basilica della Santissima Annunziata del Vastato of Genova, completed during 1635–1638, just before his death. His ''Annunciation'' fresco is considered the first true Baroque painting in the city. Through a complex trompe-l'oeil view, it reproduces the interior of a Greek Cross planned church, with Mary ascending to heaven being awaited by the Holy Father in the centre of the dome.There is a painting by Ansaldo in the Manchester City Art Gallery in Manchester,England("Allegory of the Arts"). Altarpieces from Ansaldo were commissioned for the Cathedral of Segovia. A ''Deposition'' is presently housed in the Accademia Linguistica of Genoa. He died in Genoa and was probably buried in the same Annunziata church. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giovanni Andrea Ansaldo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
