an Italian Baroque painter active mainly in Rome, Mantua and Venice. In the 1620s–30s, he helped to implement the first influences of Roman Baroque style. He adapted some of the rich coloration of Venice but adapted it to Caravaggio-influenced realism and monumentality. In Venice , Fetti changed his style: his formalised painting style became more painterly and colourful. In addition, he devoted attention to smaller cabinet pieces that adapt genre imaging to religious stories.
