Giuseppe Antonio Petrini
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giuseppe Antonio Petrini (October 23, 1677- c. 1755–9) was a painter of the late-Baroque, active mainly in Lugano, present-day Switzerland.
While born in Carona and died in Lugano, both in Switzerland, Petrini belongs to the Northern Italian or Lombard heritage of baroque painting. He apparently apprenticed with Bartolomeo Guidobono after 1700. His works can be found in Como, and Bergamo, but most of his works are located in Lugano and the surrounding area. He is also listed between 1711 and 1753 as fabbriciere of the church of Madonna d’Onegro in Carona.
