Gaspare Guercio

Gaspare Guercio (1611 - 1670/1679) was an Italian artist, nicknamed 'Guercio' and a major proponent of the Sicilian Baroque. He was principally a sculptor but also a designer of decorative schemes for architectural projects.[1] He collaborated with his pupil Gaspare Serpotta, father of the more famous Giacomo Serpotta.
