What Italian painter is best known for a 19th-century art movement characterized by relatively small, thin, yet visible brush strokes, open composition, emphasis on accurate depiction of light in its changing qualities,ordinary subject matter, inclusion of "movement" as a crucial element of human perception and experience, and unusual visual angles?
Carlo Balestrini Carlo Balestrini (March 24, 1868 – February 10, 1922) was an Italian painter. His best-known works are Impressionist landscapes with animals, specially horses.
Tommaso Salini Tommaso Salini (1575 – 13 September 1625) was an Italian painter of the early-Baroque period, active in Rome. He is best remembered for defending his friend, Giovanni Baglione, in his libel suit against Caravaggio and other painters in his circle. Baglioni describes his still life paintings. He joined the Accademia di San Luca in 1605. Salini is a frequently forgotten Baroque artist who fell under the spell of Caravaggio, despite having a tempestuous relationship with the great painter. Salini, also known as Mao, was a friend of Giovanni Baglione, the Italian art biographer, who included Salini in his "Le vite de’ pittori." Art historians have often shied away from exploring Salini’s career because the canvases that have carried his name seem stylistically dissimilar. The recent tendency has been to attribute these works to anonymous "Pseudo-Salini" painters. In order for Salini’s "oeuvre" to be presented with accuracy, connoisseurs have had to inspect the original works that Baglione mentions as being by Salini’s hand, as well as the pictures that have been successfully attributed to him.
