Biography
Born in
King's Theatre in the Haymarket.[2] In 1749 Joli left London and went to Madrid where he was also involved in scene painting for the royal court, both at the Coliseo at Buen Retiro, the royal palace then just outside Madrid, and at the smaller opera house at the palace at Aranjuez. The opera performances for which he painted scenery were directed by Farinelli. He also made large-sized paintings of the Esquadra del Tajo, the fleet of royal barges and other vessels on the river Tajo at Aranjuez. Joli returned to Venice in 1754, where he became one of the 36 founding members of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia. He moved to the Bourbon court of Naples in 1761,[1]
and died there on 29 April 1777.
