Giovanni Segala

[2] He was also a pupil of Pietro della Vecchia and was influenced by his contemporary Gregorio Lazzarini.

[1] Segala was one of the more distinguished of the Venetian artists of the 18th century, although not the equal of masters such as Giovanni Battista Tiepolo or Sebastiano Ricci.

[4] He developed a fluid style with delicate colors and a soft light.

[1] He followed his teachers in using deep shadows in his work, perhaps excessively, but made skilled use of illumination.

The picture of the Conception, which he made for the college of La Carità, was highly praised by Zanetti and is said to be equal to those of the finest artists of his day.
