Giuseppe Maria Mitelli, an Italian artist born in 1634 and passed away in 1718, was a master of his craft. His works spanned various themes and styles, showcasing his versatility and skill. One of his notable pieces is the "Gioco Delle Donne, E Sue Facende" (Game of Wives, And Their Chores) from 1654-1718. This artwork captures the daily lives of women during that time period, highlighting their roles and responsibilities within society. Another remarkable creation by Mitelli is "Plate 11: Saint William of Aquitaine" dating back to 1678. In this piece, he depicts the saint with great attention to detail and reverence. Mitelli's talent shines through in "Plate 3: The Assumption of the Virgin, " also created in 1678. This religious painting showcases his ability to capture divine subjects with grace and beauty. In "Plate 1: The Calling of Saint Matthew, " Mitelli brings to life a biblical scene from 1678. Through his brushstrokes, he conveys the moment when Jesus called upon Matthew to become one of His disciples. The artist's mastery extends further into religious art with "Plate 8: The Baptism of Christ. " Created in the same year as previous works mentioned above (1678), this painting portrays a significant event from Jesus' life with vivid colors and meticulous details. "The Virgin Enthroned with Three Saints" is another noteworthy piece by Mitelli dating back to 1668. Here he presents an ethereal image depicting Mary seated on her throne alongside three revered saints. Mitelli's talents were not limited to paintings alone; he also excelled at drawing. One example is his red chalk sketch titled "A Boy With Flowing Hair. " This portrait demonstrates both technical expertise and an eye for capturing youthful innocence.
