Italian Artist · 1701–1785
6 works across 2 collections on LinkedCulture
With his talents unsuited to grand historical and religious cycles, Pietro Longhi built a wildly successful career outside the mainstream of Venetian art by using his gift for observing the world. His father, a painter and goldsmith, encouraged his natural talent for drawing, and he studied in Venice under a follower of Carlo Maratta. He may also have trained in Bologna with Giuseppe Maria Crespi.
