Bartolomeo Bettera
Bartolomeo Bettera (born August 28, 1639 in Bergamo , † after 1688) was an Italian painter of the 17th century.
Bettera was often mistaken for unsigned works with his more famous compatriot Evaristo Baschenis , whose style he also copied. As a signature he used the initials of his name with a cross between them. Like Baschenis, he painted still lifes with musical instruments. In contrast to him, Bettera added other valuable items to the instruments , such as B. globes, sculptures, curtains or boxes. Bettera worked in Rome for a certain time , and in 1687 went to Milan , where he probably stayed until his death.
Bettera's works are u. a. in the Staatliche Kunstsammlung Kassel , in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna and in the Turin Museo di Arte Antica .
