Guilliam Walsgart
Geronimo Gerardi (1595-1648) was a Flemish artist active in Italy. He was born Guilliam Walsgart or Hyeronimus Gerards. Life Born in Antwerp, in his youth he came into contact with Rubens and with Anthony van Dyck. From 1620 onwards he was active in Palermo and Trapani in Sicily, acting as Flemish consular agent in Trapani in 1631, remaining in that city until his death. During his time on the island he remained in contact with other Flemish painters there such as Antoon van Dyck and Giovanni Basquens. The art historian Giovanni Mendola believes that his name ought to be the Italianisation of ''Guglielmo Walsgart'', who he initially held to be another painter.
