Bernardo Strozzi – One of the leading Italian 17th-century painters. Born in Genoa, he settled in Venice in 1631; much of the subsequent development of Venetian painting was influenced by his style, which was formed from the variety of sources available to him during his training in his native Genoa: Rubens, in Genoa in 1607; Van Dyck, in 1621; Barocci, whose huge Crucifixion altarpiece had been installed in Genoa cathedral in 1597; the Milanese Cerano and, in particular, Giulio Cesare Procaccini, who visited Genoa in 1618. In Venice he looked especially at Veronese. The modern viewer of his vigorous painterly and colourful religious and genre pictures, and his swaggering portraits, may be startled to learn that Strozzi became a Capuchin – that is, a strictly observant Franciscan friar, c. 1597.
