Painting by Poussin Etching by Fabrizio Chiari

Fabrizio Chiari (c.1615–1695[1][2][3][n 1]) was an Italian painter and engraver who spent his entire life in Rome.[1] Little of known of his life; Nicola Pio [Wikidata]'s short biography is unreliable.[1][4] Allegedly self-taught, his early works were copied from Nicholas Poussin and Domenichino and he retained their classicism while later influenced by Pietro da Cortona.[1][8] He did commissions for the Barberini family,[9] and foreign clients including Christina of Sweden.[1] He was in the team under Cortona which decorated the Quirinal Palace in 1656–7.[10] According to Pietro Santi Bartoli, Chiari salvaged fragments of the funerary urn of Marcia Otacilia Severa, found during renovations to Santa Maria in Via Lata.[11]

Chiari was active in the Accademia di San Luca, as an associate from 1635 and fellow from 1655.[1] He was also a member of the Virtuosi al Pantheon.[12] In 1669, Chiari, Giovanni Maria Morandi and Giovanni Francesco Grimaldi were appointed by the Accademia to investigate how to fix the degradation of the altarpiece of its chapel, St Luke Painting the Virgin;[13] attributed to Raphael, it was replaced by a 1623 copy by Antiveduto Grammatica.[14] In 1673, Chiari was among the Accademia's lecturers in life drawing,[15] and in 1682 he replaced Morandi in the jury of the its student competition.[16] The Accademia has an anonymous portrait of Chiari in middle age.[17] Pio's unpublished biography of Chiari was to be illustrated with a drawing by Filippo Minei, which has not been located.[18] Works bequeathed by Chiari to the Accademia have been lost.[12]

Works

[edit]

Chiari's early etchings from drawings by Nicolas Poussin are described by Michael Bryan as "executed in a scratchy but masterly style".[19] Some of Chiari's church paintings mentioned by Filippo Titi are no longer known.[1]
