Antonio Bellucci

Antonio Bellucci was an Italian painter and decorator, celebrated for his contributions to the Rococo movement, blending classical elements with a distinctive Rococo flair. Born in Pieve di Soligo in 1654, he initially trained with Domenico Difnico in Venetian Dalmatia, modern-day Croatia, before establishing himself in Venice and across Europe. Bellucci's works are known for their baroque joyfulness, pictorial finesse, and a palette of soft, nuanced colors, making him a key precursor to artists like Tiepolo. His paintings are characterized by their soft, virtuoso brushwork, often incorporating chiaroscuro effects learned from the Tenebrism movement, with clearly contoured figures reminiscent of Veronese, especially in the portrayal of women.

Throughout his career, Antonio Bellucci's international presence grew, especially in German-speaking regions, due to his extensive work abroad. He spent significant periods in Vienna, painting allegorical ceilings for Palais Liechtenstein, and in Düsseldorf, working for Johann Wilhelm, Elector of the Palatinate. From 1716 to 1722, Bellucci worked in England, where he created notable ceiling paintings for James Brydges, 1st Duke of Chandos, and painted the Nativity and the Descent from the Cross at St Lawrence, Whitchurch.

Antonio Bellucci's notable works include "The King's Sick Son" at Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister in Kassel, "The Rape of Europa," and "Ascension of Jesus Christ" at Great Witley Church, Worcestershire. His mastery in portraying biblical scenes and mythological themes, alongside his adeptness in capturing the essence of his subjects, has left a lasting impact on the art world.

For art collectors and experts, Antonio Bellucci's works offer a glimpse into the transition from Baroque to Rococo styles, showcasing his ability to blend dramatic intensity with delicate beauty. His legacy continues to be celebrated in museums and galleries worldwide, testament to his influence and artistry.
