angelo caroselli

angelo caroselli -lrb- 1585 -- 1653 -rrb- was an italian painter of the baroque period , active mainly in his native rome .
he painted in an eclectic style , including influences from caravaggio and the bamboccianti .
passeri describes him as never affiliated with neither master nor patron , which made his career difficult and poorly remunerated .
he is also described as having `` a nature that only wished to please the ladies '' .
in search of employment , he left rome to travel to naples , and spent some years employed in piedemonte de liso .
upon returning to rome , he was accused of attempting to sell forgeries he had painted in the style of grand masters .
passeri describes him as dressing in high fashion , but behaving with a low reputation .
among his works are a `` pieta '' and `` prophets '' in the ceiling of a chapel to the right of the entrance of santa maria in vallicella .
he also painted three canvases for the chapel to the left of the entrance of santa maria nuova in campo vaccino , including `` martyrdom of st. placidus '' and `` st. gregory celebrating mass before the people '' .
in the church of san gregorio magno , he painted a canvas on the massacre of saints and martyrs in japan .
he painted a `` st. wenceslaus '' in the quirinal palace .
he traveled to ferrara , where he painted a `` guardian angel '' for the episcopal church .
with his third marriage , he became the brother in law of filippo lauri .
one of his pupils was pietro paolini and his son carlo caroselli .
