Guardi, Gianantonio

▪ Venetian painter
in full  Giovanni Antonio Guardi 
born May 1699, Vienna
died Jan. 23, 1760, Venice

      painter of the 18th-century Venetian school.

      He was trained by his father Domenico Guardi (1678–1716). After his father's death, Giovanni Antonio took over the studio. Here, he and his two brothers, Francesco (Guardi, Francesco) and Niccolò, specialized in paintings of religious and genre subjects, as well as copies of earlier masters.

      There is still much dispute about the precise part played by each of the three brothers in these and other works, such as the altarpieces in the parish churches at Belvedere di Aquileia and Cerete Basso (c. 1755). Most scholars consider Gianantonio the main creator of the famous paintings of the story of Tobit on the organ loft of the church of the Angelo Raffaele at Venice (before 1750). If that series is indeed by his hand, he must be counted as one of the most important painters of the Venetian Rococo.
