Biography:

Johann Christoph Storer was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, mainly active in Lombardy. He was born in Milan and trained with Ercole Procaccini. In 1648-9, he helped decorate the Chapel of the Crucifix in the church of San Marco in Milan along with Antonio Busca, Johann Christoph Neupert, il Moncalvo, and Luigi Pellegrini Scaramuccia. During 1650-51, he traveled to Rome to work with Giovanni Ghisolfi and collaborated with him at the Sacro Monte of Varese. He was also active in the Sacro Monte di Orta. Being much afflicted with the gout, he appears to have been unable to undertake anything with vigor; he sank into a mannered repetition.
