Portrait of the gem-cutter Dionysio Miseroni and his family, by Karel Škréta, 1653

Dionysio Miseroni von Lison (1607, Prague – 1661, Prague[1]) was a Bohemian-Italian jeweler, gemcutter, and glass cutter. He was a member of very famous Miseroni family who were important jewelers and gemcutters from Milan: the archive information for the Milanese Miseroni family dates back to the 15th century, when there is traces, in 1453, of Giovanni Francesco or Francesco, son of Gasparo, mentioned in 1460 as a member of the goldsmiths' guild, of which he was appointed consul in 1468 and 1475, and abbas in 1480 and again in 1488.[2]
