La lutista por Orazio Gentileschi, 1612-20.
Orazio Gentileschi (1563–1639) was born to the Florentine goldsmith Giovanni Battista Lomi. Gentileschi moved to Rome and met Caravaggio. Though highly influenced by him, he gradually developed a softer, more refined version of Caravaggio’s dramatic style. He worked briefly in Genoa and Paris before moving to London in 1626 where he was employed as court painter for Charles I. He was one of the first practitioners of Caravaggism in England and was held in great esteem. He remained in the country for the rest of his life.
Orazio Gentileschi was the father of Artemisia Gentileschi
