Carlo Frigerio (April 5, 1763 – 5 December 1800) was an Italian painter, and a pupil of Santo Cattaneo. He was mainly active in Brescia.
Along with Santo Cattaneo and other artists, he contributed decorations and frescos to the Cigola-Fenaroli Mansion, located between Via Carlo Cattaneo and Piazza Tebaldo Brusato in Brescia; the building was erected in the 16th and 17th centuries by the Cigola Counts of Muslone.
Federico Nicoli Cristiani wrote of Frigerio in 1807, "He had a beautiful hope to succeed in art, but death claimed him."
Famous quotes containing the word carlo:
“If there is anything so romantic as that castle-palace-fortress of Monaco I have not seen it. If there is anything more delicious than the lovely terraces and villas of Monte Carlo I do not wish to see them. There is nothing beyond the semi-tropical vegetation, the projecting promontories into the Mediterranean, the all-embracing sweep of the ocean, the olive groves, and the enchanting climate! One gets tired of the word beautiful.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
