Andrea Commodi

Andrea Commodi was an Italian painter born in the Duchy of Florence in 1560 and active until his death in 1638. He received his artistic training under the guidance of Cigoli, a mentor who shaped his early development. Later in his career, Commodi assumed the role of instructor, teaching the future master Pietro da Cortona.
