Giuseppe Nogari

Nogari was born in Venice. He is said to have trained under Antonio Balestra or, more likely, under Giovanni Battista Piazzetta. He followed the latter' style, as well as those of Rosalba Carriera, Jacopo Amigoni, and Rembrandt. He was patronized by two German patrons in Venice, Sigismund Streit and Johann Matthias von der Schulenburg.

From 1739 to 1742 Nogari worked for the House of Savoy in Turin, painting canvasses and decorating the Royal Palace of Turin and the hunting lodge at Stupinigi. In 1756, he became a member of the Venetian Accademia di Pittura e Scultura. Alessandro Longhi was one of his pupils.

In 1997, a painting by Nogari was used in a sting wherein employees, including an Old Masters expert of Sotheby's in London, smuggled the painting out of Italy.^{[citation needed]}
