Ceruti, Giovanni Battista
B. 1756, Sesto Cremonese, d.1817, Cremona
According to Count Cozio di Salabue, Ceruti was a pupil of one Count Luigi Maggi in Cremona, although no trace of this maker's work has survived. It is probable that Ceruti learned his craft from Nicola and Carlo II Bergonzi. Closely associated with Lorenzo Storioni, he probably took over his business when Storioni ceased work in 1802. He carried on with great success, continually refining his style and finish. His work reflects both the Bergonzi brothers and Storioni, and most commonly has a dark, slightly hard but very evenly applied varnish.
