composer, virtuoso violinist, teacher and cleric. Born in
Venice, he is recognized as one of the greatest Baroque
composers, and his influence during his lifetime was
widespread across Europe. He composed many
instrumental concertos, for the violin and a variety of other
instruments, as well as sacred choral works and more than
forty operas. His best-known work is a series of violin
concertos known as The Four Seasons.
