"Italian painter Domenico Bossi, also known as Johann Dominik Bossi, was born in Trieste. After training with Giandomenico Tiepolo in Venice, he embarked on a roving career specializing in portrait miniatures on ivory. Moving from court to European court, Bossi found an abundance of clients, mainly drawn from royal and aristocratic families. The artist never returned to Italy, ultimately settling in Munich."
