About Alessandro Turchi

1578–1649 • Republic of Venice

Early Baroque painter active in Verona and Rome. The nickname "Orbetto" is said to have derived from either his own visual impairment, or from a childhood occupation as a guide for a blind beggar during his poverty-stricken youth. His patrons included Cardinal Scipione Borghese. Comment on works: Religious; History; Mythology
