Giuseppe Pirovani


Giuseppe Pirovani was an Italian painter of the Neoclassic period, mainly active in Brescia.
Born in Pavia to a Brescian family. His father was a merchant, who noticed his son's affinity to and ability at drawing while at work; he thus sent young Giuseppe to study in Rome under Pompeo Battoni. He apparently submitted designs for a public hall in Philadelphia. He painted altarpieces in Brescia.
