Biography

While he was born in Silesia or to a German family in Ferrara, he trained in that city under Domenico Mona.
Known to have originally fled from a Silesian family, he was therefore given the nickname, the Germanil Tedesco.
Jacopo Bambini was also a pupil of Mona. He died at Ferrara in 1632. In the latter city he painted a Preaching of St. Andrew. for the church dedicated to that saint; also 'The Calling of SS. Peter and Andrew.'
