Alessandro Vittrice

Alessandro Vittrice

Alessandro Vittrice commissioned Caravaggio in 1601 to paint "The Entombment of Christ" as an altarpiece for the church of Santa Maria in Vallicella. [F. Haskell, p. 70.]

The church had been re-built by Saint Phillip Neri for his Oratorian order, and Vittrice was the nephew of a friend of Saint Phillip's.

Vittrice is also known to have been, in 1620, the owner of Caravaggio's The Fortune Teller. [ [http://www.univ-montp3.fr/~pictura/GenerateurNotice.php?numnotice=A3139 La Diseuse de bonne aventure - Le Caravage] ]
