Giacomo Francesco Cipper known as Todeschini (Feldkirch, 15 July 1664 - Milan, 17 October 1736) was an Austrian painter, active in Italy in the first half of the 18th century.
The biographical data is not known: perhaps he was a native of Tyrol and was active in northern Italy in the first half of the eighteenth century, especially in the Brescia and Bergamo areas.
Some of his numerous works, signed Cipper, Zipper or Cipri flanked by the German name, are dated between 1705 (Gypsy scene from the Geri Collection in Milan) and 1736 (Painter in his studio, Hampton Court). A genre painter, he adhered to Nordic culture and looked with interest at the works of Pietro Bellotto. The fruitful activity of Todeschini fits, with a tone of easy fun, of the variegated current of popular painting which had particular success in Lombardy and central Europe, reaching its most sincere and strongest expression in Pitocchetto.
