Biography
Salomon Adler: Self portrait

Adler came from a family of cloth makers in Gdansk. He was of Lutheran faith. His manner of painting (reminiscent of Rembrandt and his predilection for oriental clothing in his portraits) suggests an early education in Gdansk. Perhaps he was again the same age Andreas Ruthardt the painter Daniel Schulz 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 (Nicolò Renieri 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 (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 and collection Franco Marinotti), Budapest (possibly replica of the Self-portrait in the Uffizi) and in the Uffizi. In addition to Rembrandt, the French court painter 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 Nuremberg, which was acquired in 1963 from the Italian art trade. Known are over a dozen paintings, almost all portrait (except a Judith and an allegory).

In 1955 there was an exhibition to him in the Palazzo della Ragione (Bergamo). A self-portrait was found in the Brera in Milan.[1]

gollark: Apiowhat?
gollark: A square wave is apparently in some confusing way equivalent to the sum of an infinite number of sine waves, so you get horrible interference, and it's low-power so the range is terrible.
gollark: It can generate ~100MHz square waves and you can connect up an antenna, which is *basically* what a radio transmitter would do but stupider and worse.
gollark: Yes, a clock or something.
gollark: A quirk of the raspberry pi means it can transmit FM radio with horrible interference because it can only broadcast square waves or something, because of happening to have a somewhat adjustable ~100MHz clock exposed on external pins or something.
