Francesco Cappella
  • Biography

    Francesco Capella was a pupil of Giambattista Piazzetta and he worked in the master's workshop until the latter's death. Capella emulates Piazzetta's characteristic use of chiaroscuro but his style also differs from his master's with his warmer palette and softer brushwork. Capella was listed in the Fraglia of Venetian painters between 1744 and 1746, and in 1756 he became a member of the Accademia.
