Giovanni Pietro Ligario
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giovanni Pietro Ligario (1686-1748) was an Italian painter of the late-Baroque. He was born at Sondrio in the Valtelline, and after early training there, moved to Rome, where he frequented the studio of Lazzaro Baldi, and afterwards visited Venice. On his return to his native town in 1727, he was employed in painting historical pictures for churches and private collections. He died at Sondrio. He has left a ‘‘St. Benedict’’ in the church of the convent at Sondrio, and a ‘‘Descent of the Holy Spirit’‘ in the church at Morbegno.
