Padre Felice Ramelli

Padre Felice Ramelli

Padre Felice Ramelli (1666-1740) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Rome.

He was born in Asti in the Piedmont. In Rome, he became a cleric, and was made a canon of San Giovanni Laterano. He excelled in portrait miniatures. The King of Sardinia invited him to his court, where he was for some time employed in painting the portraits of the most celebrated painters, many of which he copied from the originals, painted by themselves, in the Florentine Gallery (now Uffizi).
