Parodi.
Italian family of artists. Giovanni Battista Parodi (i) was a wood-carver, and his son (1) Filippo Parodi was a sculptor and wood-carver. The reputations of Filippo’s sons, (2) Domenico Parodi and Giovanni Battista Parodi (ii) (b 1674; d 1730), were primarily based on their fresco paintings, though Domenico was also active in other fields. Giovanni Battista Parodi (ii) is best known for his vault (1706) in S Pietro in Vincoli, Rome, and vault medallions (c. 1706) in S Maria dell’Orto, Rome. Most of his career was spent outside Genoa, in Milan and Bergamo, and, in contrast with his brother’s frescoes, the figures in his works are generally more distinctly outlined and set in highly detailed still-life compositions.
