Antonio Cavallucci

Antonio Cavallucci was an eighteenth-century Italian painter of religious scenes and portraits. One of the leading Roman Neoclassical painters, Cavallucci was influenced by Pompeo Batoni and Anton Raphael Mengs. There is in his art some of the northern European feeling that had made its way into Rome at the end of the eighteenth century.
