Giuseppe Palmieri

Saint Francis predicates to Ezzelino da Romano, 1690-1700 ca.

Giuseppe Palmieri (1674 - May 18, 1740) was an Italian painter of the late Baroque period.

Palmieri was born in Genoa. Orphaned as a baby, he came into the care of an uncle. As a boy, after his uncle died, he was apprenticed to an unidentified Tuscan painter, with whom he travelled through Italy, including a long stay in Sicily. Returning to Genoa, he joined the large studio of Domenico Piola, where he first gained independent commissions. He was very religious, and completed without pay some of his works for the monasteries of the Capuchin Friars (now mostly preserved in the church of the Holy Conception in Genoa). Some pictures depicting hunting scenes were painted for King John V of Portugal. In this style of painting, he was influenced by Castiglione. He fathered many children. He died in Genoa and was buried in the church of St. James of Carignano in Genoa.
