Giovanni Gentile (composer)
Giovanni Gentile (unknown, Olevano Romano – after 1649) was an Italian composer and music teacher. Life and works Two sources survive for his life and works: his only surviving work, a teaching-collection of music entitled ''Solfeggiamenti et ricercari a due voci'' (Lodovico Grignani, Rome 1642); and the inventory of printed works in the workshop of the Roman printer Sebastiano Testa.Republished by Patrizio Barbieri in "Musica, tipografi e librai a Roma: Tecnologie di stampa e integrazioni biografiche (1583-1833)", ''Recercare'', 7 (1995). In the teaching-collection's frontispiece, Gentile is called "Signor Giovanni Gentile of Olevano", which means he was a layman not a clergyman, and that his birthplace was Olevano Romano (the existence of another Olevano, in Lomellina, may make even the second of these facts doubtful, but the fact that Gentile's artistic career only appears in Rome makes Olevano Romano more likely to be correct). As regards his teaching activity, the inc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Thereafter a number of his subjects were set in the East, and he is one of the founders of the Orientalist tradition in Western painting. His portrait of the Sultan was also copied in paintings and prints and became known all over Europe. B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
