Giovanni Cariani

Giovanni Cariani

Giovanni Cariani also known as Giovanni Busi or Il Cariani (c. 1490 -1547) was an Italian painter of the high-Renaissance, active in Venice and the Venetian mainland, including Bergamo, thought to be his native city.

Overview

His father, also Giovanni Busi, was born in Fuipiano Valle Imagna and was appointed a local magistrate for the Venetian authorities. His son, probably born in Bergamo, is known to have lived in Venice starting in 1509, and may have trained with either Giovanni Bellini or Giorgione, and almost certainly was influenced by them. Though he worked often in Bergamo, he died in Venice in 1547. He was strongly influenced by Palma il Vecchio, but had a provincial love of scenery as seen in his "Sacra conversazione with a youthful donor". While working in Bergamo (1517-1523), he likely overlapped with Lorenzo Lotto, who worked there from 1513-1525.

"Cariani and the Courtesans"

The 1987 BBC Two television play "Cariani and the Courtesans", written and directed by Leslie Megahey, presented a fictionalised account of the painter's time in Venice, with Cariani (Paul McGann) interacting with other historical characters, such as Tullia d'Aragona (Diana Quick), Marcantonio Raimondi (Simon Callow), and Francesco Albani (Michael Gough), with a brief "cameo" by Albrecht Dürer (Frederik de Groot), and narrated by Charles Gray. The narrative is woven around the painting of a number of his works, principly "Four Courtesans and Three Gentlemen".
