The works belongs to the characteristic production of this family of painters from Bergamo, specialists in the genre who followed the example of Evaristo Baschenis. The emergence of this distinctive trend in Italian still-life painting, typically associated with Lombardy, was closely linked to the extraordinary reputation of the violinmakers\u2019 workshops in nearby Cremona.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Only two signed paintings by Bonaventura Bettera are known, around which the small corpus of the artist has been reconstructed: one dated 1718 from Palazzo Passi in Bergamo (and now in a private collection in La Spezia), and another originally painted for Palazzo Greppi in Milan, now in a private collection in Bergamo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The scholar Marco Rosci, who pblished the work in two studies of 1971 and 1985, contributed to making Bettera\u2019s work better known, emphasizing in Bonaventura\u2019s art a \u201ctransition towards an 18th century decorative taste\u201d characterized by \u201ca decisive inclination to render the chromatic tones lighter and cooler\u201d when compared to the paintings of his father Bartolomeo, whose style generally reveals a more analytical approach.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pubblications:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cBettera e la maniera Bergamasca\u201d,<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>in \u201cBaschenis, Bettera &amp; Co: Produzione e mercato della natura morta del Seicento in Italia\u201d, edited by Marco Rosci, Gorlich, Milan, 1971, p. 61, fig. 154 e p. 154.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cCollezioni private bergamasche\u201d, LIX, Monumenta Bergomensia, Bergamo, 1981,vol.
