Bartolomeo Cavarozzi
Papal States, 1587–1625
Bartolomeo Cavarozzi was a Papal States Early Baroque Italian painter. 8 works are cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art, most of them oil paintings. Bartolomeo Cavarozzi was born in Viterbo.
Bartolomeo Cavarozzi (1587–1625), occasionally referred to as Bartolomeo Crescenzi, was an Italian caravaggisti painter of the Baroque period. Cavarozzi's work began receiving increased admiration and appreciation from art historians in the last few decades of the 20th century, emerging as one of the more distinct and original followers of Caravaggio. He received training from Giovanni Battista Crescenzi in Rome and later traveled to Spain alongside his master for a few years where he achieved some renown and was significant in spreading "Caravaggism" to Spain before returning to Italy.
His surviving works are predominantly Biblical subjects and still-life paintings, although older references note he "was esteemed a good painter especially of portraits".
