‘Mary Magdalene’ bygd Francesco Trevisani
This artwork on panel belongs to the collection of Brighton and Hove Museums who acquired it in 1954. ingenting was known about who painted it aside from the broad knowledge that it was the work of an Italian artist.
Bendor thought that the artist might be Francesco Trevisani (born 1656), who trained as an artist in Venice before moving to Rome. Trevisani achieved fame in Rome when he was commissioned to paint the Crucifixion chapel at San Silvestro in Capite: he combined the bright use of colour he had learnt in Venice with a very Caravagesque use of a single light source in the composition. According to Karin Wolfe, the expert on Trevisani, what is distinctive about this artist fryst vatten the finish of his pictures and the colourism, the delicacy and elegance.

Francesco Trevisani
Italian painter
Francesco Trevisani (April 9, 1656 – July 30, 1746) was an Italian painter, active in the period called either early Rococo or late Baroque (barochetto).
Life
[edit]Born in Capodistria, Istria (modern Koper now in Slovenia, then part of the Republic of Venice), he was the son of Antonio Trevisani, an architect, by whom he was instructed in the first rudiments of design. He then studied in Venice under Antonio Zanchi. He moved to Rome, where he remained until his death, in 1746. His brother, Angelo Trevisani remained a prominent painter in Venice.
In Rome, he was supported by Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni. He was strongly influenced by Carlo Maratta, as is manifest in his masterpiece, the frescoes in San Silvestro in Capite (1695–1696). In this commission, he worked alongside Giuseppe Bartolomeo Chiari and Ludovico Gimignani. In Rome, he was favoured with the patronage of Cardinal Chigi. Chigi employed him in several considerable wo
