Giuseppe Ghezzi (November 6, 1634〔 * 〕–1721) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Rome. ==Biography== Born in Comunanza, in the Marche (then part of the Papal States), he was the son of the painter Sebastiano Ghezzi, a painter and architect for the papacy of Pope Urban VIII.〔Sebastiano was a pupil of Guercino.〕 Sebastiano died when Giuseppe was only 11 years old, and he was sent to Fermo to study philosophy an letters, but took also painting instruction under Lorenzino da Fermo. He then moved to Rome where he chose painting over law studies. He painted in many Roman churches.〔(Biografia universale antica e moderna ossia Storia per alfabeto della vita ); Volume 24, Presso Giovanni Battista Missiaglia, Tipografia di Alvisopoli, entry by Dizionario Storico di Bassano, page 160.〕 He painted in the style of Pietro da Cortona. Giuseppe Ghezzi was the first ''secretary in perpetuity'' for the Accademia di San Luca in Rome. He was the father of the more prominent caricaturist Pier Leone Ghezzi (born June 28, 1674).
