Viviano Codazzi

Viviano Codazzi

Viviano Codazzi (1606 or 1611 - 1672) was an Italian painter of landscapes or "vedute" during the Baroque period, active mainly in Rome and Naples.

Biography

Born in Bergamo, he is also known as "Viviano Codagora" or "il Codagora" but by 1620 he had reached Naples, where he probably continued training with Cosimo Fanzago. In Naples, he also worked with Domenico Gargiulo in completing large fanciful landscapes; with Codazzi painting the architecture, and Gargiulo, the figures. This type of collaboration would be common for Codazzi, and after relocating to Rome after the Masaniello revolt, he also collaborated with Antoine Gobau, Michelangelo Cerquozzi, Jan Miel, Filippo Lauri, and Vicente Giner.

He painted in a style influenced by a circle of Dutch painters active in Rome, known as Bamboccianti, including Pieter van Laer. He is best known as one of the earliest practitioners in Italy of painting architectural veduta of Rome and Roman ruins, both fanciful (capriccio) or realistic ("veduta realistica"). His son Niccolò Codazzi (1642-1693) was also a painter of vedute. Viviano was a strong influence on Canaletto and Bernardo Bellotto. His depiction of "St. Peters Basilica" in 1630 [ [http://www.wga.hu/html/c/codazzi/rome.html St Peter's, Rome by CODAZZI, Viviano ] ] shows one of the last depictions of the facade without Bernini's colonnade.
