Biography:

Niccolò Codazzi was an Italian painter of architectural paintings, capricci and vedute. He also created decorative elements in frescos as a painter of 'quadratura'. A son of the prominent architectural painter Viviano Codazzi, he trained with his father and was active in Genoa and Rome. He predominantly painted architectural scenes, capricci and ruins, and is likely to have only painted the architecture, leaving the figures to be added by different artists. Niccolò Codazzi died in Genoa in 1693.
