Angelo Nardi (painter)

Angelo Nardi (painter)

Angelo Nardi (active 17th century) was an Italian painter of the early-Baroque period, active in Spain.

Born in Florence, he was employed by Cardinal Sandoval, Archbishop of Toledo, to paint some altar-pieces for the church of a Recolete nunnery, founded by that prelate at Alcala de Henares. The favour of the primate introduced him to the notice of his secretary, Don Sebastian de Herrera, who employed him to paint for the chapel of the Conception at La Guardia and Don Melchor de Vera, his assistant bishop, who had him complete fifteen canvases for the altars of a convent of Bernardine nuns, which he had founded in the city of Jaen.

In 1625 Nardi had acquired sufficient fame to obtain the post of painter to the King, he held without salary until 1631, when the allowance of 6000 maravedis was assigned him. He was one of the most active supporters of Vincente Carducho, in his contest with the tax-collectors.

He painted in a late mannerist style of Paolo Veronese.
