Antonio Paglia (1680 in Brescia – 1747 in Brescia) was an Italian painter active mainly in Brescia in a late-Baroque or Rococo style.^[1] He was the son of the Baroque painter Francesco Paglia. He collaborated with his brother Angelo. He apparently traveled after 1714 to Venice to apprentice with Sebastiano Ricci.
