Italian painter, his real name: Giovanni Pietro Rizzoli. He may be identifiable with the 'gian petro' jotted down in a list by Leonardo between 1497 and 1500 (Milan, Biblioteca Ambrosiana, Codex Atlanticus) and thus may have been present in or near Leonardo's Milanese workshop before the end of the 15th century, although the surviving paintings usually connected with him belong stylistically to the period between 1510 and 1530. The recent discovery of documents and paintings related to his presence in Savona in 1537 excludes the previous identifications of the artists with Giovanni Pedrini or Pietro Rizzo.Show more
