Topic: Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione


In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione
In Italy he was known as Il Grechetto from his beautiful colouring, and in France as Il Benedetto.
But as Van Dyck left Genoa when Castiglione was nine years old, and since Genoa was rich in Van Dyck's works, it is more than probable that the young man never saw Van Dyck, but had ample opportunity, in his native city, to study his works and those of Rubens also.
Benedetto had many imitators, especially his brother Salvatore and his son Francesco, both his pupils.

 The Scout Report - September 24, 1999
An online exhibition documents the restoration of Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione's The Immaculate Conception with Saints Francis and Anthony of Padua, a seventeenth-century work that began receiving conservation treatments from members of the Upper Midwest Conservation Association on September 14th.
Viewers can follow the progress of restoration in the daily log, including the excitement on September 16th, when the removal of overpainting done during a prior conservation attempt revealed what may be Castiglione's signature.
Other resources available at the site are the painting's condition report prepared by the Upper Midwest Conservation Association, a timeline of the painting's history, and a FAQ section.
