Bartolomeo Guidobono

Bartolomeo Guidobono (1654 - 1709) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Northern Italy.

He is also known as il "Prete di Savona" or "Prete Bartolomeo da Savona". He appears to have modeled his style to Northern influences such as Gaudenzio Ferrari and Corregio. He began as a painter of ceramic earthenware with his father, who worked for the royal court of Savoy. He afterwards went to work as a copyist to Parma, Venice, and Genoa. He was admired for his decoration of ornamental parts, such as flowers, fruits, and animals. He helped fresco the Palazzo Centurioni in Genoa. He painted an "Inebriation of Lot" and in three other subjects for the palace Brignole Sale. His brother Domenico (1670-1746) helped paint the Duomo of Turin with a glory of angels.
