Giuseppe Bottero (1846, Asti – 1930)[1] was an Italian painter, active mainly in Turin, as a genre painter. Later in life, he became an engineer and lieutenant general.
The contemporary critic, De Gubernatis, described him as having the artistic temperament and courage of a painter of the Cinquecento.[3] At the National Exhibition of Turin, he displayed Il Coltello and Sul Golgota (On Golgotha). In the Exhibition of 1886 in Milan, he displayed: Compagni di sventura. In the 1887 exhibition of Venice, he displayed Hypochondria and La Posa.[4]
