1575 – 1655

Mastelletta (originally Giovanni Andrea Donducci), Italian painter. He trained under the Carracci, most notably Lodovico, but he also responded to the more expressive art of Pietro Faccini and Annibale Castelli. The spontaneity and freedom of his Mystic Marriage of St Catherine (Rome, Galleria Spada) emphasizes his closeness to these painters, while his Assumption of the Virgin (Bologna, Pinacoteca Nazionale) is closer to Ludovico Carracci's style, though with overtones of a Mannerist elegance that is characteristic of Mastelletta.Show more
