Painter, born in Florence, Italy, 25 May, 1616; died 17 January, 1686. The grandson of a painter, he seems to have inherited a talent for art. He studied under J. Vignali, and when only eleven years old he attracted attention by the excellence of his work, notably a figure of St. John and a head of the Infant Jesus..."Catholic Encyclopedia

Thanks Jackie!
Such beautiful detail and expression captured in these works of art. And to think he was already making a name for himself when only 11 years of age. Thanks, Esther,for these lovely Friday celebrations of art.
