Cipriani, Giovanni Battista

▪ Italian painter
born , 1727, Florence, Italy
died Dec. 14, 1785, London, Eng.

      painter who was the first exponent in England of Neoclassicism and who played an important part in directing 18th-century English artistic taste.

      Cipriani was a pupil of the Anglo-Florentine painter Ignazio Hugford. In 1750 he went to Rome, where he encountered nascent Neoclassicism and met members of the English colony there. The architect Sir William Chambers (Chambers, Sir William) and the sculptor Joseph Wilton took him to England in 1755. His work there largely consists of illusionistic murals for the decoration of private residences such as Kedleston Hall, Derbyshire, and Lansdowne House, London, both designed by Robert Adam (Adam, Robert). He was also a prolific draftsman of classical and allegorical subjects.
