Giuseppe Cignaroli, younger brother of Giambettino, at the age of eighteen became a monk of the Order of the Observants at the Church of San Bernardino in Verona. His works show a special predisposition for portraiture and genre painting, but his production of altarpieces is no less important and can still be seen in the churches of Bussolengo, Marostica, Isola della Scala and Ostiglia, while his self-portrait is kept in the Museo di Castelvecchio.
