Bartolomeo Bettera: The Silent Geometry of Music Born in Bergamo during the tumultuous 17th century, Bartolomeo Bettera (1639-after 1688) emerged as a significant figure within the burgeoning still life tradition of Italy. His artistic legacy is inextricably linked to his apprenticeship under Evaristo Baschenis, a pivotal artist who revolutionized painting in Bergamo by adapting Caravaggio’s dramatic chiaroscuro and naturalistic approach to subjects previously relegated to historical or religious contexts.

A chart of bartolomeo bettera's corpus mapped not by date but by subject. Spokes are what they painted; rings are when; and the threads between stars reveal the patrons and places that secretly connect them.
Each arm of the atlas gathers works by what they depict: portraits, sacred scenes, mythologies, and the scientific studies. Click a spoke to swing that cluster to the top.
Distance from the center marks time. The innermost ring is the earliest period; the outermost, the final years. Style matures as you move outward.
Coloured lines link works bound by the same patron, commission, or theme. Trace a context to watch related clusters light up across subjects.
