Lorenzo Gramiccia

The precise date of birth is not known: if the literature commonly places it in 1702, on the basis of a document from 1721, in which he is said to be seventeen, it should be slightly postponed.

In the same it is deduced that at the time he lived in Rome and was a student of Bonaventura Lamberti.

[1] He painted a Roman Charity (circa 1740–1750) found at the Accademia Carrara of Bergamo.

In 1765, after stopping briefly in Bologna, he settled in Venice as a guest, it seems, of the Cavalli patricians.

Here he dedicated himself both to the production of altarpieces, with a classicist approach, and to genre painting, with influences from Pietro Longhi.
