Giacomo Ceruti

Giacomo Ceruti (1698–1767) was an Italian painter associated with the Baroque movement. He is best known for his realistic depictions of everyday life, particularly through his genre scenes and portraits of the lower classes. Ceruti's work reflects a shift towards naturalism and social commentary in art during the 18th century. He spent much of his career in Milan, where he gained recognition for his ability to capture the dignity of his subjects. His contributions to the genre of still life and portraiture have influenced subsequent generations of artists. The details of his early life and training remain largely unknown.
