Italien Ambassador's Residence In Copenhagen
The Italian ambassador's residence in Copenhagen stands at the corner of Amaliegade with Fredericiagade in the Frederiksstaden neighbourhood of Copenhagen, Denmark. History The original house was built by Johan Christian Conradi for custom inspector Jacob Rahbek in the 1750s. The writer Knud Lyhne Rahbek, Jacob Rahbek's son and a central figure in the Danish Golden Age, grew up in the building. Jacob Rahbek sold the property to a merchant named Duncan in about 1670 and built a new house at Store Kongensgade 59 in 1782. Duncan expanded the house with two new wings to the rear in 1783.

Giuseppe Recco
__NOTOC__ Giuseppe Recco (1634 – 29 May 1695) was an Italian painter in the Baroque style. He specialized in a variety of still lifes. Career Born in Naples, he likely apprenticed with his family, including his father Giacomo Recco and uncle . Later, he perfected his technique with Paolo Porpora, who had been one of his father's students. During a stay in Lombardy, from 1644 to 1654 with his uncle, he was influenced by the works of Evaristo Baschenis. As his fame spread, he was invited to come to Spain by King Charles II.

Early in his career, he went from painting flowers to more varied assemblies and was among the first Italian painters to do so. Recco may have died at Alicante, Spain, before reaching Madrid, although contemporary sources indicate that he lived there for seven years and beca ...
