About Pietro Testa
Pietro Testa was an Italian High Baroque artist active in Rome. He is best known as a printmaker and draftsman. Most of his relatively brief career was spent in Rome in the circle of artists and scholars interested in Classical ideals, who grouped around Cassiano dal Pozzo. Although his public paintings were largely unsuccessful, he was among the finest and most renowned Italian printmakers and draughtsmen of the 17th century.
