Naked man, seated, legs apart, a stick in his left hand
Pietro da Cortona (1596 – 1669)
Pietro Berrettini, known as Pietro da Cortona, was a defining figure of the Italian Baroque. Born in Cortona, he mastered illusionistic painting & architecture in Rome, rivaling Bernini and Borromini. His frescoes, like those at Palazzo Barberini, showcase dramatic perspective and immersive experiences. He also worked in Florence, leaving his mark on the Pitti Palace.
