Pietro Benvenuti

Pietro Benvenuti

Pietro Benvenuti (8 January, 1769 — 3 February, 1844) was an Italian academic painter.

Born in Arezzo, he was from early years a friend of Vincenzo Cammuccini, and with the latter and Luigi Sabatelli formed an academy in Rome. He was a student of the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, then studied in Rome, 1792-1803. He returned to practice in Arezzo and was called in 1807 to be court painter to Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi and to direct the Florentine Academy. With a group of collaborators and students Benvenuti was commissioned to decorate the new rooms in Palazzo Pitti in 1811-12. Another prestigious commission, from the restored Grand Duke of Tuscany, Leopold II, was to fresco the dome of the Capella Medicea at the Basilica di San Lorenzo di Firenze. He was an associate of the Accademia di Brera, Milan. He died in Florence.
