Luciano Borzone

Luciano Borzone (1590 – 12 July 1645) was an Italian painter of a late-Mannerist and early-Baroque styles active mainly in his natal city of Genoa.

After an apprenticeship with Filippo Bertolotto, his uncle, the Duke Alberigo of Massa Lunigiana patronized his work as a pupil of Cesare Corte.

Supposedly died from a fall from scaffolding while painting a picture of a Nativity for ceiling of the Nunziata del Vastato.

He etched some plates from his own compositions: Portrait of Giustiniani; St. Peter delivered from Prison; Prometheus devoured by the Vulture; Children playing; and a set of devout subjects.

Maria Francesco, the third son, excelled in painting landscapes and sea-pieces in the style of Lorrain and Pouissin, and came to be employed at the court of Louis XIV.
