Michele Desubleo

Born in Maubeuge in 1601, Desubleo probably learned his trade in Flanders, although there is no proof he was trained in the workshop of Abraham Janssens together with his stepbrother Nicolas Régnier.

By the beginning of the 1630s, he was working in Bologna, in the busy workshop of Guido Reni, who was a crucial influence on him and on other artists of his age or slightly younger, including Simone Cantarini and Jean Boulanger.

Starting 1654, he worked for a decade in the Veneto region.

After 1665, there is evidence of his presence in Parma, where the significant paintings he left include a large altarpiece with the Madonna and Saints for the cathedral and a canvas on the secular subject of Sacred Love Triumphing over Profane Love.
