Bartolomeo Nazari

Bartolomeo Nazari (31 May 1693 – 24 August 1758) was an Italian painter of the late-Baroque, mainly active in Venice as a portraitist.

Nazari likely knew personally Fra Galgario, the renowned portraitist from Bergamo, and is described by some as a pupil.

In 1744, he travelled to Frankfurt to paint the emperor Charles VII and his family and other members of the court.

In 1756, he was inducted into the newly founded Accademia di Belle Arti of Venice.

[1] Among his patrons were Consul Joseph Smith and the former general Johann Matthias von der Schulenburg (who owned over eight diverse portrait paintings).
