Giovan Bernardo Lama was a Neapolitan painter, born at an unspecified date, which can be placed in the first thirty years of the 16th century. The 1580s were Lama's most successful period: celebrated by poets and men of letters - the artist can be identified with Giovan Bernardo, painter of Giordano Bruno's "Candelaio", and his contemporaries recall his "delicate colouring", his ability to depict nature, his skills as a clay and stucco sculptor, copper engraver and miniaturist. His many works include the lost paintings for the Ss. Annunziata complex and those he may have produced in collaboration with the more talented Silvestro Buono, such as the "Madonna del Rosario" in the church of S. Maria del Buon Consiglio. He died after 1594, and sources record that he was buried in the church of Gesù delle Monache, without however indicating the decade of his death.

Abstract
Giovan Bernardo Lama was a Neapolitan painter, born at an unspecified date, which can be placed in the first thirty years of the 16th century. The 1580s were Lama's most successful period: celebrated by poets and men of letters - the artist can be identified with Giovan Bernardo, painter of Giordano Bruno's "Candelaio", and his contemporaries recall his "delicate colouring", his ability to depict nature, his skills as a clay and stucco sculptor, copper engraver and miniaturist. His many works include the lost paintings for the Ss. Annunziata complex and those he may have produced in collaboration with the more talented Silvestro Buono, such as the "Madonna del Rosario" in the church of S. Maria del Buon Consiglio. He died after 1594, and sources record that he was buried in the church of Gesù delle Monache, without however indicating the decade of his death.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
