Felice Ficherelli on canvas, poster, wallpaper and ArtFrame by Frank Zuidam
Felice Ficherelli (August 30, 1605 - March 5, 1660) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, born in San Gimignano and active mainly in Tuscany. Among Ficherelli's early patrons was Conte Bardi, who persuaded Ficherelli to move to Florence and study with the painter Jacopo da Empoli. Empoli's influence is evident in the lavish fabrics seen in many of Ficherelli's works. Ficherelli was nicknamed "Felice Riposo" because of his reclusive nature.
