Giuseppe Zais

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giuseppe Zais (1709-1784) was an Italian painter of landscapes ( vedutisti) who painted mostly in Venice. He was influenced in his vedute by Marco Ricci and later Francesco Zuccarelli, who helped train him. He is best known for frescoes in Villa Pisani in Stra. While he had been a member of the Academy of Painters in Venice, he died in poverty.
