'''Giuseppe Bernardino Bison''' (16 June 1762 – 24 August 1844) was an itinerant Italian painter of [[fresco]]es, landscapes, [[vedute]], [[Capriccio (art)|capriccios]] and some religious works. |
||
His style was influenced by [[Giovanni Battista Tiepolo|Tiepolo]] and [[Francesco Guardi|Guardi]]. |
|||
==Biography == |
|||
Bison was born in [[Palmanova]], but his family moved to [[Brescia]], where he worked in the studio of [[Gerolamo Romani]]. They then moved to [[Venice]], where he associated himself with [[Canaletto]]'s studio. Most of his output was while working in Venice or in the near mainland (Ferrara, [[Trieste]], and [[Padua]]). He died in [[Milan]]. |
