Bartolomeo Guidobono (1654–1709) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Northern Italy.
Biography
He is also known as il Prete di Savona (Priest of Savona) or Prete Bartolomeo da Savona. He appears to have modeled his style to Northern influences such as Gaudenzio Ferrari and Corregio. He began as a painter of ceramic earthenware with his father, who worked for the royal court of Savoy. He afterwards went to work as a copyist to Parma, Venice, and Genoa. He was admired for his decoration of ornamental parts, such as flowers, fruits, and animals. He helped fresco the Palazzo Centurioni in Genoa. He painted an Inebriation of Lot and in three other subjects for the Palace Brignole Sale. His brother Domenico (1670–1746) helped paint the Duomo of Turin with a glory of angels. In his home town a city street and a secondary school are dedicated to the painter.
Guidobono painted a Lot and His Daughters in the Mykolas Zilinskas Art Museum in Kaunas, Lithuania. He painted a canvas depicting The Sorceress (c. 1690) on display in the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University.[1]
