Angelo Everardi
Italian painter
Angelo Everardi (5 August 1647 – 1678) was a painter and printmaker active in Brescia in the second half of the 17th century. No paintings have been attributed to him with certainty. He is reported to have been a painter of battle scenes, Bambocciate, i.e. low life genre scenes as well as of history paintings.
Life
Angelo Everardi was born in Brescia as the son of a Giovanni (Joan) from Sittard in Flanders (now in the Netherlands) and Vittoria, his second wife. This Flemish origin explains his name 'il Fiammenghino' or Fiammenghino. His father was a "maestro di ruote di archibugio" ("master of the wheels of the arquebus") indicating that he was likely a maker of guns.
He studied in his home town with the Flemish painter Jan de Herdt who was working in Italy at the time and Francesco Monti (il Brescianino). He then went to Rome to further his studies. Here he acquainted himself in particular with the battle scenes of Jacques Courtois.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Angelo Everardi” as italian painter. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as italian painter. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 22, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2849472. VIAF identifies the subject as 95972099. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1647 and 1678.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
