The son continued his father\u2019s work and painted for various churches such as the Cappuccini of Frascati and San Onofrio of Urbino. Ghezzi\u2019s style changes through the years, reflecting the influence of French portraiture and the decadent Rococo movement. He is also known as perhaps the first professional caricaturist. Ghezzi\u2019s pen and gouache figures are emotionally expressive and depict named individuals or professions satirically. The figures had exaggerated anatomies and eccentricities in clothing, stances, and expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"694\" height=\"900\" data-id=\"18711\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/1996.26.3-694x900.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/1996.26.3-694x900.webp 694w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/1996.26.3-231x300.webp 231w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/1996.26.3-768x996.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/1996.26.3-1184x1536.webp 1184w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/1996.26.3-484x628.jpg 484w, https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2023\/05\/1996.26.3.webp 1320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 694px) 100vw, 694px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"10\" height=\"10\" data-id=\"14895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2021\/01\/blank-image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14895\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"10\" height=\"10\" data-id=\"14895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/files\/2021\/01\/blank-image-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14895\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pier Leone Ghezzi (Italian, 1674\u20131755) Ghezzi first trained under his father, a&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1626,"featured_media":0,"parent":1152,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_hide_ai_chatbot":false,"_ai_chatbot_style":"","associated_faculty":[],"_Page_Specific_Css":"","_bates_restrict_mod":false,"_dimp_site_id":"","_dimp_override_contact":false,"_table_of_contents_display":false,"_table_of_contents_location":"","_table_of_contents_disableSticky":false,"_is_featured":false,"footnotes":"","_bates_seo_meta_description":"","_bates_seo_block_robots":false,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_id":0,"_bates_seo_sharing_image_twitter_id":0,"_bates_seo_share_title":"","_bates_seo_canonical_overwrite":"","_bates_seo_twitter_template":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-18710","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1626"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18710"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18710\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19228,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/18710\/revisions\/19228"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bates.edu\/museum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
