Fra Giovanni Maria da Brescia was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period. He was born in Brescia circa 1460.〔(Dizionario degli artisti bresciani ) by Stefano Fenaroli, page 68.〕 He appears to have been related to Giovanni Antonio da Brescia. He was brought up a goldsmith, a profession at that time connected with the arts; and after studying painting and engraving for some time, he became a monk of the order of the Carmelites at Brescia, and painted circa 1500 several pictures for the church of his monastery, and in the cloister some frescoes, representing subjects from the history of Elijah and Elisha. He also engraved some plates, which are executed in a mixture of the styles of Marcantonio Raimondi and Andrea Mantegna. We have the following plates : *''Virgin and Infant Jesus, the Virgin holding a Book''. *''Virgin and Infant in the Clouds''; a circular plate. *''St. Gregory resuscitating a Youth'' (signed, 1502) *''The Justice of Emperor Trajan'' (signed, 1502)〔S. Fenaroli, page 69.〕 *Three Monks of the Order of the Carmelites. (1512). ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giovanni Maria da Brescia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
