Lorenzo Bedogni

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lorenzo Bedogni (also Lorenzo da Reggio and Lorenzo Bedoni as well as Lorenzo Bendoni and Lorenzo Bedogno and Lorenzo Bedozzo ; * around 1600 in Reggio nell'Emilia ; † before May 1670 ibid) was an Italian painter and architect .

Life

In 1651 Lorenzo Bedogni renewed the Cappella del Santissimo Sacramento in Padua in the Basilica of St. Anthony .

In 1652 Bedogni entered the service of Georg Wilhelm , Duke of Braunschweig-Lüneburg , as the successor to Albrecht Anton Meldau , and worked as a building manager in Hanover until 1665 ; then also in Celle until 1670 . He built the electoral palaces of Celle, Calemberg, Leine (north facade) and Linsburg. He also made the plans for the large mansion in Herrenhausen (see list of buildings that have disappeared from old Hanover ).

In the Villa Selvatico Sartori he painted the decoration of the dome with the compass rose while Luca Ferrari created the fresco cycle about the legend of Antenor from the history of the city of Padua.

Since he must have met the Grand Vogt Georg Christoph von Hammerstein zu Equord there at the Celler Hof, there is much to suggest that he designed the Equorder mausoleum church . However, there are no documents on this.
