Francesco Trevisani (Capodistria, 1656 - Rome, 1746) Francesco Trevisani was a painter of the Baroque school of the 17th century. He trained in Venice under the teaching of Antonio Zanchi, linked to the tendencies of the "dark" and Luca Giordano. Trevisani subsequently moved to Rome (1678) under the protection of one of the most important patrons of the time, the Venetian cardinal Pietro Ottoboni. He became a disciple and continuer of the style of Carlo Maratta, following his classical inclinations, as can be seen in the frescoes and in the three paintings with "Stories of the Passion of Christ" in the chapel of the Crucifix and in the chapel of S. Chiara in San Silvestro. In 1709 he completed the work begun by the painter Baciccio at St. Peter's Basilica. In his artistic career, Trevisani created paintings, portraits, frescoes, altarpieces with religious, mythological and historical themes, now present in museums such as the Hermitage and the Louvre. In Rome there are works such as: the oval with the prophet Baruch at San Giovanni in Laterano, the altarpiece with the Death of St. Joseph in the Sacripante chapel in Sant'Ignazio and the Ecstasy of St. Francis in the church of SS. Stigmata of Saint Francis.
