Bortoloni, Mattia

Italian original Cite

BORTOLONI, MATTIA. - Painter, b. in 1696 at S. Bellino (Polesine), d. at Bergamo in 1750. He derived from A. Balestra a fluid decorative taste, to which was joined, in his last years, the influence of the manner of G. B. Pittoni. His most significant works are the frescoes of the dome of the Tolentini (Venice), those of the vault of the choir and presbytery in S. Bartolomeo in Bergamo, and those of the Consolata in Turin.
