Francesco Liberti
b. 1630
Francesco Liberti is an Early Baroque Italian painter. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Statens Museum for Kunst, most of them oil paintings.
Francesco Liberti painted dramatic scenes from ancient myths. In 1629 he showed Pyramus and Thisbe, a tragic love story split by a bloody misunderstanding, and Narcissus, the proud youth who falls for his own reflection. Both are oil paintings full of deep colors and strong lighting, typical of early Italian art. Tap Narcissus to see how one figure can carry so much feeling in a single glance.
