Salomon Adler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Salomon Adler (before March 3, 1630 - 1709 in Milan) was a German painter of the Baroque period, active in Milan and Bergamo as a portrait painter. He was the mentor of Fra Galgario. Born in then-Danzig (now Gdansk), died in Milan. He appears to be one of the earliest Jewish painters in post-medieval Europe for which we have any documentation.
