1596-1669 Italian Pietro da Cortona Galleries Italian painter, draughtsman and architect. He was, together with Gianlorenzo Bernini and Franceso Borromini, one of the three leading artists of the Roman Baroque. As a painter he developed the early Baroque style, initiated by Annibale Carracci, to a magnificent and imposing High Baroque. His fresco decorations set a standard for European Baroque painting until they were eclipsed by Giambattista Tiepolo's works and those of other Venetian masters of the 18th century. As an architect Cortona was far less influential. His imaginative designs for fa?ades and stucco decorations were, however, conclusive and independent solutions to problems central to Roman Baroque architecture.   Related Paintings of Pietro da Cortona :. | Giorification of the Rule of Urban Vii (nn03) | Allegory of Divine Providence and Barberini Power | Glorification of the Rule of Urban VIII | Venus as Huntress Appears to Aeneas | The Samian Sibyl |
