Natali, Francesco

Natali, Francesco a painter who devoted himself mostly to sacred art, was the brother of Giuseppe, whose style he adopted, and whom he nearly approached, and even surpassed in dignity. He executed many works on a large scale for the churches in Lombardy and Tuscany. He was also much employed at the courts of the dukes of Massa, Modena, and Parma, in which latter city he died in 1723.
