Career

Gerolamo Forbosco came from Padua or Venice and worked in Padua and Venice. He was listed in a Venetian painters' guild from 1634 to 1639 and in the tax register of Venice from 1640 to 1644.

Forabosco was a pupil of Padovanino and, like him, took the Venetian painters of the 16th century as models, but was also influenced by the Venetian contemporaries Bernardo Strozzi and Sebastiano Mazzoni . Several portraits of women in splendid dresses later earned him the reputation of having been a painter for Venetian courtesans.

Gregorio Lazzarini was one of his students
