Angelo Caroselli (1585–1653) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in his native Rome. He painted in an eclectic style, including influences from Caravaggio and the Bamboccianti. Passeri describes him as never affiliated with neither master nor patron, which made his career difficult and poorly remunerated. He is also described as having ''a nature that only wished to please the ladies''.〔Passeri, page 190〕 In search of employment, he left Rome to travel to Naples, and spent some years employed in Piedemonte de Liso.〔Passeri, page 191〕 Upon returning to Rome, he was accused of attempting to sell forgeries he had painted in the style of grand masters. Passeri describes him as dressing in high fashion, but behaving with a low reputation. Among his works are a ''Pieta'' and ''Prophets'' in the ceiling of a chapel to the right of the entrance of Santa Maria in Vallicella. He also painted three canvases for the chapel to the left of the entrance of Santa Maria Nuova in Campo Vaccino, including ''Martyrdom of St. Placidus'' and ''St. Gregory celebrating Mass before the people'' . In the church of San Gregorio Magno, he painted a canvas on the Massacre of Saints and Martyrs in Japan.〔Passeri, page 194-195〕 He painted a ''St. Wenceslaus'' in the Quirinal Palace. He traveled to Ferrara, where he painted a ''Guardian Angel'' for the episcopal church.〔Passeri, page 195〕 With his third marriage, he became the brother in law of Filippo Lauri. One of his pupils was Pietro Paolini and his son Carlo Caroselli. ==References== * * * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angelo Caroselli」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
