Salomon Adler (1630–1709) in Archival Research of Years 1651–1666

Abstract

The work of Salomon Adler, a portrait painter born in Gdańsk and working in Italy as Salomone di Danzica, is known only from the period of his stay in Lombardy 1677–1691. Licia Carubelli’s article Salomon Adler a Crema published in “Arte Lombarda” in 2007, contains new‑found documents confirming the assumptions of earlier scholars, that the painter was also present in the Republic of Venice. The following article is a summary of research conducted as a part of doctoral thesis in preparation, in the Venetian archives, in order to broaden the information provided by Carubelli, especially concerning the years of painter’s stay in Venice, pictures painted then, names of his patrons, and guild membership.
