Alessandro Rosi (28 December 1627 in
Medicis
and other patrons.
Biography
Rosi trained in the workshops of
Cosimo III de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. His foremost pupil was Alessandro Gherardini
. He died at the age of seventy after being struck by a falling column while walking along the Via Condotta in Florence.
Little is known of his life. Only the single full-length study of his oeuvre brought him to the forefront. His work previously tended to be confused with that of other artists such as Sigismondo Coccapini.[1] His work has undergone a re-evaluation by critics in recent years, after centuries of oblivion.[1]
