Filippo Abbiati

Filippo Abbiati was an Italian painter, renowned for his contribution to the Baroque period. Born in Milan in 1640, Abbiati's training under Carlo Francesco Nuvolone and Antonio Busca honed his skills, leading him to develop a distinct style characterized by fluid touch and luminous foundations. His work was heavily influenced by early seventeenth-century Lombard painting and later, the Roman Baroque and Venetian painting.

Abbiati's career was predominantly based in Milan, where he produced numerous significant religious and historical paintings. Notable works include the altarpiece of the Preaching of St. John the Baptist for the Sanctuary of the Beata Vergine dei Miracoli in Saronno and the extensive frescoes in the Milanese church of Sant'Alessandro. His masterpieces are celebrated for their dynamic composition and expressive intensity, marking a transition toward the Rococo movement​.

Though details about his later years remain sparse, Abbiati's legacy lives on through his influential frescoes and the mentorship of notable students like Alessandro Magnasco. His works can still be admired in places like the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan and the Biblioteca Ambrosiana​.
