Carlino Dolci (Florence, 1616 – Florence, 1686) was an Italian painter of the Baroque. He was active mainly in Florence. Dolci is renown for his highly finished religious pictures.
Saint Matthew the Evangelist.
Dolci, the major Florentine painter of the 17th century, enjoyed an international reputation in his own lifetime. He was a gifted portrait painter and painted a number of large altarpieces, but his reputation is largely based on his half-length, single-figure paintings, characterized by their intense religiosity and meticulous technique, [1] and by his soft colour, and strong contrasts of light and dark.
