Etching by Fabrizio Chiari
Fabrizio Chiari (c.1615–1695
[1]
[2]
[n 1] ) was an Italian painter and
engraver who spent his entire life in Rome.
[1]
Chiari's early
etchings from
Nicolas Poussin paintings are described by
Michael Bryan as "executed in a scratchy but masterly style";
[4] among them are:
[1]
[4]
Mars and Venus, in a landscape , signed "Fabritius Clarus" 1635.
Venus and Mercury with Children , signed "Chlarus" 1636
Venus and Adonis , signed "Nicolaus Pussinus"; This etching has been erroneously attributed to Poussin.
Chiari was enrolled in the
Accademia di San Luca from 1635.
[1] In
San Martino ai Monti in the 1640s he painted the
altarpiece , St Martin Dividing his Cloak with the Beggar , and a
fresco , The Baptism of Christ , which was overpainted in the 18th century by
Antonio Cavallucci .
[5] To mark the 1658
canonization of
Thomas of Villanova , he painted St. Thomas of Villanova Distributing Alms for
Santa Maria del Popolo .
[6] His Assumption of the Virgin and Death of St Anne , commissioned in 1654 for the chapel of
Regina Coeli convent , were misplaced when it became a prison in 1880;
[1]
[7] the latter turned up in 2012 and in 2019 sold for $30,000 at
Sotheby's .
[1]
[8] Others of Chiari's works are no longer known, including church paintings mentioned by
Filippo Titi and drawings listed by
Nicola Pio [
Wikidata ] .
[1] In 1675 Chiari decorated the Sala degli Specchi in the
Palazzo Altieri , including a ceiling fresco, The Chariot of Apollo ,
[9]
[n 2] in which the cornices, unusually, depict the
four ages of man rather than the
four seasons .
