Italian Baroque Era Painter, 1625-1713,Italian painter, draughtsman and printmaker. He was the last major Italian artist of the classical tradition that had originated with Raphael, and his pre-eminence among the artists of his time marks the triumph of classicism. Nonetheless his art unites the virtues of disegno and colore, and he created a grandiose and decorative style that satisfied the demands of the Church.   Related Paintings of Carlo Maratti :. | Jimenez | Woodbridge at Argenteuil | The Funeral of Phocion | The Gathering of the Manna | Portrait of a Woman |
