Simone del Tintore
07.05.1630 - 16.02.1708
Italy
Simone del Tintore was an Italian painter, active in his native Lucca. He is mainly known as a still-life painter but he may also have painted religious subjects.
He trained at the 'Academy of Painting and Drawing of Lucca', which had been established by the local artist Pietro Paolini.
Del Tintore evolved from still lifes ('natura morta') to 'natura viva', compositions which included living animals and figures, occasionally painted by his teacher Pietro Paolini.
Del Tintore's favoured motifs were wicker baskets laden with fruit and mushrooms scattered about with pale, luminous green leaves transformed into a dense, dark green thanks to the use of chiaroscuro effects.
