Evaristo Baschenis (December 7 1617 – March 16 1677) was an Italian Baroque painter of the 17th century active mainly around his native city of Bergamo. He was born to a family of artists. He is best known for still lifes most commonly of musical instruments. This could explain his friendship with a family with notable violin makers from Cremona. Still-life depictiona were uncommon as a thematic among Italian painters prior to the 17th century.
