Carlo Maratta

San Carlo al Corso
Carlo Maratta (Marratti) 1625 - 1713
Carlo Maratta was a late Baroque painter, draughtsman and print maker who worked mainly in Rome. He was born in Camerano which was at that time part of the Papal States.
In 1636 Maratta went to Rome and joined the studio of Andrea Sacchi where he remained until Sacchi's death in 1661. His own studio became one of the largest and most prominent in Rome. Francesco Trevisani was one of his many students.
He left a large amount of work in Rome many commissioned by his patrons Pope Alexander VII and Clement X.
He became the principal of the Accademia di San Lucca in 1664 and was knighted in 1704 by Pope Clement XI.
Carlo Maratta's studio was still run by him when he was well into his eighties and when he was no longer capable of painting.
He died in 1713 and was buried in Santa Maria degli Angeli.
