Vanitas Karavagism
Pietro Negri
Venice 1628 — Venice 31.05.1679
Pietro Negri was an Italian painter who belonged to the Baroque "tenebrosi" movement.
Many of Negri's paintings have a somber character and convey a general mood of drama, which is emphasized by contrasting effects of light and shadow. This style is characteristic of Caravaggio and his followers. Negri painted allegories in the style of vanitas, scenes on mythological and religious themes, as well as domestic genre scenes.
