He was the mentor of [Fra' Galgario](/source/Fra'_Galgario). Born in [Danzig](/source/Gda%C5%84sk) ([Gdańsk](/source/Gda%C5%84sk)), died in Milan. == Biography == Adler came from a family of cloth makers in Gdansk. He was of [Lutheran](/source/Lutheranism) faith. His manner of painting (reminiscent of [Rembrandt](/source/Rembrandt) and his predilection for oriental clothing in his portraits) suggests an early education in Gdansk. Perhaps he was again the same age as Andreas Ruthardt the painter [Daniel Schultz](/source/Daniel_Schultz) in Gdansk in the doctrine and probably went with him before 1653 to Italy (1653 is his baptismal record in Gdansk in Italy handed down). His artworks show the influence of portrait painters from Venice ([Nicolas Régnier](/source/Nicolas_R%C3%A9gnier) and Tiberio Tinelli). In the years from 1679 to 1691, he was demonstrably in Milan. He was much appreciated as a portrait painter. He was the teacher of [Fra' Galgario](/source/Fra'_Galgario) (Vittore Ghislandi), who went to Milan to study his works being portrayed several times. Rembrandt may also have influenced him through his pupil Wilhelm Drost, who was temporarily in Venice. In addition, the school of ''tenebrosi'' with its light-dark contrasts on him. Self-portraits of Adler can be found in Bergamo, Milan ([Brera gallery](/source/Accademia_di_Brera) and collection Franco Marinotti), Budapest (possibly a replica of the Self-portrait in the [Uffizi](/source/Uffizi)), and in the Uffizi and the Museo Bardini in Florence. In addition to Rembrandt, the French court painter [Hyacinthe Rigaud](/source/Hyacinthe_Rigaud) is also mentioned as an influence. The only work signed by Adler is the portrait of a young man in the [Germanisches Nationalmuseum](/source/Germanisches_Nationalmuseum) of [Nuremberg](/source/Nuremberg), which was acquired in 1963 from the Italian art trade. Known are over a dozen paintings, almost all portraits (except a ''Judith'' and an allegory). In 1955 there was an exhibition of him in the Palazzo della Ragione (Bergamo). A self-portrait was found in the Brera in Milan.[https://books.google.com/books?id=iRsrAAAAYAAJ&q=Milan+Pittore ''Pinacoteca della Reale Accademia di Belle Arti in Milano''] By Accademia di Belle Arti (Milan, Italy). ==See also== * [List of German painters](/source/List_of_German_painters) == References == {{reflist}} == Bibliography == {{Commons category}} * {{cite encyclopedia |last = D'Ancona |first = Paolo |date = 1929 |title = ADLER, Salomon |url = https://www.treccani.it/enciclopedia/salomon-adler_(Enciclopedia-Italiana) |encyclopedia = [Enciclopedia Italiana](/source/Enciclopedia_Italiana) |location = Rome |publisher = [Istituto dell'Enciclopedia Italiana](/source/Istituto_dell'Enciclopedia_Italiana) |access-date = 14 September 2025 }} * {{cite book |last = Gelly |first = Clara |date = 2006 |title = Nancy, Musée des beaux-arts: peintures italiennes et espagnoles, XIVe–XIXe siècle |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=yIOJgJEw8FUC |location = Roche-la-Molière |publisher = IAC Éditions |page = 155 |isbn = 2-916373-01-2 }} {{Authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Adler, Salomon}} Category:17th-century Italian painters Category:Italian male painters Category:18th-century Italian painters Category:German Baroque painters Category:17th-century German painters Category:German male painters Category:17th-century births Category:1709 deaths Category:18th-century Italian male artists --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Salomon Adler](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salomon_Adler) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salomon_Adler?action=history)).
