The Nativity, Bartolommeo Biscaino, artist, 1650-1657, Genoa, etching, The Genoese artist Bartolomeo Biscaino's life (1632-57) was cut short by the plague, and little is known about him. He first trained with his father, a landscape painter. In the late 1640s he entered the workshop of Valerio Castello, a painter of violent contrasts and fiery, scintillating color. Biscaino's forms were softer, his brushstroke broader, and his choice of colors more delicate.
