Luigi Garzi was an Italian painter who was born in Rome in 1638. He was a pupil of Pietro da Cortona, one of the most important painters of the Baroque period. Garzi's early works were influenced by his master's style, but he soon developed his own distinctive style. Garzi was best known for his religious paintings, characterised by dramatic lighting and intense emotional expression. He also painted portraits, landscapes and historical scenes. Garzi's paintings were sought after by collectors and patrons throughout Europe, and he received numerous commissions from the Vatican and other prominent institutions. Garzi died in Rome in 1721 at the age of 83. His legacy as one of the leading painters of the Baroque period lives on through his many surviving works, which continue to inspire and captivate viewers to this day.
