Giuseppe Ghezzi was a Baroque artist, illustrator and permanent secretary of the Accademia di San Luca and personal adviser to many of Rome's art collectors.
He was born in The Marches and was the son and pupil of artist and engraver Sebastiano Ghezzi.
He painted many altarpieces and portraits and mainly worked in Rome after moving there in around 1660.
His first work in Rome was an altarpiece in 1674 for Santa Maria del Suffragio. It was also the year that he became a member of the Accademia di San Luca.
He went on to paint two altarpieces for the Chiesa Nuova in 1695 and 1702, the Creation of Adam and the Resurrection of the Dead.
His son, Pier Leone Ghezzi also became an artist.
