Giampietrino

Giampietrino (notices 1508 — 1521) possibly Giovanni Pietro Rizzoli, (documented from 1495 to 1549), [S.J. Freedberg says "It is uncertain whether this painter is to be identified with Gian Pietro Rizzi or Giovanni di Pietro of Como." (Freedberg, "Painting in Italy 1500-1600" 3rd ed. 1993:383, note 25] was a north Italian painter of the Lombard school and the Leonardo circle, succinctly characterized by S.J. Freedberg as an "exploiter of Leonardo's repertory." [Freedberg, 1993:383.]

He was a very productive painter of large altarpieces, Madonnas, Holy Women in half figure, and mythological women. For a long time the true identity of the artist was unknown; he was only known as the so-called Giampietrino. In 1929 Wilhelm Suida suggested that it could perhaps be Giovanni Battista Belmonte, since a Madonna signed with this name and dated 1509 had been associated with Giampietrino. However, since this board was however preserved, he could not be certain. Since then, this assumption is considered outdated, and Giampietrino is being identified predominantly with a "Giovanni Pietro Rizzoli" who is known by documents.

Giampietrino can be regarded as an extremely talented painter, who contributed substantially to the distribution of the late style of Leonardo da Vinci. He adapted numerous displays of Leonardo, and in addition, he left behind numerous capable compositions of his own. Many pictures are preserved in multiple versions.
