  • Biography

    The artist, Masturzio, was a pupil, friend, and skilled imitator of Salvator Rosa. They arrived in Rome and updated their Falconian training on Cortonesque examples, influencing the artistic evolution of Borgognone. Masturzio's early production is emblematic for the understanding of his catalog, with artwork style characteristics influenced by Salvator Rosa and intense realistic intonation. The description of the clash between knights in one of his paintings is particularly noteworthy for its illustrative modality and focus on realistic details. The good conservation of the drafts is achieved with dense pasty brushstrokes.
