Benedetto Luti

Benedetto Luti was an Italian painter and draughtsman of the academic Baroque style of the Florentine school.

Benedetto Luti began his artistic career in his hometown. Studied under Gabbiani and Tommaso Redi. He enjoyed the patronage of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Cosimo III de' Medici, a great fan of pastel drawing. In 1691 the artist moved from Florence to Rome. Luti was one of the first great masters to use pastel not only for sketches and outlines, but also to paint portraits in this technique. Benedetto Luti also painted oil paintings and frescoes. From 1720, he headed the Accademia di San Luca in Rome.

Benedetto Luti was also a successful art dealer and ran the art school he founded. His pupils included Giovanni Paolo Pannini, Placido Costanzi, Jean-Baptiste van Loo and his brother Charles-André van Loo.
