Guido Nincheri was an Italian artist born in 1885 in Prato, not far from Florence. After spending a short time in Boston, he immigrated to Canada in 1913 and began painting frescoes and creating stained-glass windows for churches in Quebec and the Eastern United States. In his lifetime, he produced over 3,000 religious works of art, making him one of Canada’s most prolific religious artists of the twentieth century. His stained glass and decorative works adorn some 200 buildings, primarily churches across Canada and in several New England states.

His artistic style reflects Italian tradition and he was inspired by leading figures of the Renaissance. He paid particular attention to details and composition, and his works are often full of bright colours and intricate images which highlight the richness of Italian culture and religious tradition.

Guido Nincheri left an indelible mark on the artistic culture of both Quebec and Canada as a whole. His works are bursting with colour, light and movement, and to this day are shining examples of his artistic genius and his passion for religious tradition.
