Giovanni Paolo Bianchi (Milano 1590 - 1654 circa)
|
Giovanni Paolo Bianchi was born in Milan around 1590 and worked here as an engraver, draughtsman and, perhaps, painter. He was also a cartographic engraver and publisher "all'insegna della Balla"; active in 1617 and again in 1654.
Bianchi appears to have been enrolled in 1620 as an engraver at the Accademia di Belle Arti at the Ambrosiana in Milan. He then worked, almost exclusively, for the best-known Milanese printers and publishers, especially for G. B. Bidelli, the Malatesta, the Ponzio: accurate and diligent are his engravings with burin, although the engraving mark is often uncertain (Le Blanc, in his Manuel de l'amateur d'estampes, I [Paris 1854, p. 333], lists twenty-four), taken from drawings by D. Fiasella, B. Castelli, A. Lanzani, D. Piola, Frà Molina, G. C. Storer, A. Tempesta, and also, especially for thesis heads, from his own invention. He signed "Bianchi G. P. fece," "Blanc.", "Blancus" "Io. Pau. Blancus," etc., often followed by the indication "Mediolanensis" or "in Milano." The dedications of his prints testify to the vast circle of interests and relationships he had with the society of his time.
Among the headings for "theses" (see the fonds of the Civica Raccolta delle stampe Bertarelli, Milan, and the Bibl. Civica di Bergamo) are those for Francesco della Somaglia, discussed at the Brera college (1644), and for Angelo Francesco Porro in the church of SS. Cosma e Damiano (Feb. 1654); among the publications for degrees those for Giberto Borromeo (s.d.) and for Giacomo Francesco Attendolo Bolognini (1642). (cf.
