Giacomo Legi
Giacomo Legi (±1600, probably in Liège or Prince-Bishopric of Liège, possibly in Antwerp - between 1640 and 1645, Milan) was a Baroque painter of Flemish descent who was active principally in northern Italy during the first half of the 17th century. Here he was one of the leading painters of still lifes and market and pantry scenes. Life Little is known about Legi’s early life. His original name is not known with certainty. It is believed that his Italian name is derived from the French word Liège which may refer to the city Liège or the Prince-Bishopric of Liège (Liegi in Italian), in present-day Belgium, where he may have been born.Raffaele Soprani e Giovanni Nicolò Cavana, ''Le Vite De Pittori Scultori, et Architetti Genovesi, e de' Forastieri, che in Genoua operarono Con alcuni Ritratti de gli stessi]'', per Giuseppe Bottaro, e Gio.
