Giuseppe Diotti

Giuseppe Diotti (1779–1846) was an Italian painter. He was born in Casalmaggiore, and was instructed in the Academy at Parma, and later by Vincenzo Camuccini at Rome. He painted in fresco as well as in oil, distinguishing himself as a painter of historical subjects, and became a professor in the Accademia Carrara, and also in that at Bergamo, where he died. In the Belvedere at Vienna is a picture by him representing The Kiss of Judas, and in the Milan Gallery is the Congress of Pontida. Other works by him are Leonardo da Vinci and Lodovico Sforza and Tobias receiving his Sight. His self-portrait, dated 1821, is in the Uffizi.
