About
Why this artist matters now
Donato Creti was an Italian painter of the Rococo period whose work resisted the decorative excess of his contemporaries in favor of a crisp, formal neoclassicism. Active primarily in Bologna, Creti developed a distinctive academicized grand manner marked by austere figure modeling and restrained color. His approach bridged the ornamental sensibility of the early eighteenth century and the stricter aesthetic principles that would define neoclassical painting. His pupils included Aureliano Milani, Francesco Monti, and Ercole Graziani the Younger.
