Painting
Francesco Albani was an Italian Baroque painter active in Rome and Bologna during the seventeenth century. Working in fresco and oil, he specialized in religious narratives and mythological scenes rendered in a classicizing style that emphasized clarity of composition and warm, luminous color. His decorative cycles and altar paintings were widely commissioned by the papal court and aristocratic patrons throughout the Papal States. Albani's approach to figure and landscape established a substantial influence on Baroque painting in northern Italy.
