Pier Maria Baldi (circa 1630 - November 9, 1686) was an Italian painter and architect. ==Biography== Born around 1630 in Florence, Pier Maria Baldi trained under Baldassare Franceschini, known as ''il Volterrano''. He worked along with fellow pupil Cosimo Ulivelli in Franceschini's projects, decorating rooms in the Palazzo Giraldi, now Taddei, on via de' Ginori.〔(Opere di Filippo Baldinucci: Notizie de' professori del disegno ), Volume 13, by Filippo Baldinucci, page 123.〕 In 1667 the Grand Duke Ferdinando II recommended Pier Maria to Bernini and Pietro da Cortona in Rome. From September 1668 to March 1669 he was a chamberlain to the future Cosimo III de Medici, while the latter traveled through Europe, including France,〔where, in Paris, he bought works from Robert Nanteuil for Cosimo https://books.google.com/books?id=I5XoJu-PbxMC Serie degli uomini i più illustri nella pittura, scultura, e architettura, page 118.〕 Spain,〔, by J. N. Hillgarth, Pages 260-268.〕 Portugal,〔(Lisbon before the earthquake ), page 22.〕 Ireland, England, the Netherlands and Belgium. He documented painted and drawn vedute of this trip, conserved in two volumes in the Biblioteca Laurenziana of Florence. This is a fascinating collection of the skylines of European towns in the 17th century. Among his painted figure pieces are a ''Madonna of the Rosary and Saint Domenic'' (circa 1684) for the main altar of San Domenico al Maglio (now belonging to the Scuola di Santità Militare)〔Others attribute this altarpiece to Lazzaro Baldi, a contemporary of Pier Maria, born in Pistoia, but active in Rome; (Firenze antica, e moderna illustrata ), tome 1. (): 3, by Modesto Rastrelli, page 255.〕 and a lunette frescoed with the ''Baptism of St Augustine'' in the first cloister of Santo Spirito. 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「Pier Maria Baldi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
