Giovan Francesco Gonzaga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Museums in Italy
As a teen he attended the Sforza Castle of Milan where he used to copy the works of artists such as Leonardo and Michelangelo.[2] He never had any formal training in painting.[3]
Gonzaga had a distinct and peculiar style.[3] The most frequent subjects are horses, riders, still lives, soldiers, portraits, and landscapes, besides traditional sacred subjects such as crucifixions and portraits of the Virgin Mary.[3]
