P. Castriono, nach van Meytens

Castriono, P.
Only two paintings give us knowledge of this artist. Most probably he lived in Austria in the first half of the 18^th century. Apart from the miniature in the Tansey Collection (catalogue no. 2008-15) a another miniature is known, which is privately owned by an American. Castriono is probably identical with the Neapolitan miniature painter Alexander Castriotto who is mentioned by Saur. One work by Castriotto dating of the early 18^th century can be seen today in the Museo Nazionale in Pisa (maybe the signature had been read wrongly).
