Francesco Gialdisi

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Francesco Gialdisi (circa 1650-after 1720) was an Italian painter, born in Parma but active mainly in Cremona.[1][2] There is little biographical information available.

He is almost certainly the same as the Gialdisi or Gianlisi (Parma 1650 – Cremona 1720), as cited in Notizie istoriche de’ pittori, scultori e architetti cremonesi (1774) by Giovanni Battista Zaist, who was a painter mostly known by still lifes of flowers and sometimes musical instruments.[3][4] Other sources mention Antonio Gianlisi (Parma 1671 – Cremona 1727). His works may resemble those of Evaristo Baschenis.
