Angelo Maria Rossi
Painter from Italy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angelo Maria Rossi (also Pseudo-Fardella, or Pittore di Carlo Torre) was an Italian painter active in Lombardy in the 17th century.[1][2] Rossi's work was originally grouped under the pseudonym 'Pseudo-Fardella', due to stylistic similarities with works by the Sicilian painter Giacomo Fardella di Calvello.[2][3] From 1996, Rossi was also referred to as 'Pittore di Carlo Torre' on the basis of a signed pair of still lifes, painted in circa 1662 for Milanese writer Carlo Torre (circa 1620–79).[2][3] It was only in recent years that Giuseppe Cirillo discovered the monogram 'A.M.R.' on various canvases ascribed to the artist and he was identified.[2][3] Between 1665 and 1701, Rossi executed a number of paintings which are currently held in collections in Milan and Turin.[2]
