Who doesnt know Michelangelos Final Judgement, Raphaels School of Athens or Gregorio Guglielmis The Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes?
Perhaps the last artist is unknown, however, this Italian painter was one of the best in Europe during the 18th century. His works of art were in great demand by noble families, the Catholic Church and the most important courts of the day.

Everyone wanted his works. The most powerful kings called him to decorate their palaces. However, his name was in total oblivion, no one knows who he was today and art historians do not have a clear idea of him.
Thats why the Italian cultural institutions have opened an exhibit in the Eternal City so that art experts and the public can get to know him. His most impressive work of art is at the former monastery of Saint Agustin.
The Multiplication of the Loaves and Fishes
Edith Gabrielli
Art Historian
The work of art is characterized by strokes, for a way to extend a color that is extremely soft and suggestive: light, pleasant, colors that range from pink, to light green, to sky blue.
Agostino Gioia, the prior of Saint Agustins order and one of the most powerful men of the period, commissioned one of the painters first creations in 1752.

Art Historian
He requested it for the monasterys dining room, this explains why it was chosen the multiplication of the loaves and fishes.
Other of his most impressive works showing another phase of the painter are the allegories of peace, war, summer and autumn. According to Gabrielli, these works show the result of good governance, the result of a country with an enlightened and capable leader.
The exhibit will be open until March 15. Its an opportunity to appreciate and learn about the history of Italian art through a collection of 20 paintings brought from museums worldwide. .
