Agostino Masucci
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Agostino Masucci (c. 1691 - 19 October 1758) was an Italian painter of the late-Baroque or Rococo period.
He was pupil of Carlo Maratta. He joined the Accademia di San Luca in 1724, and from 1736-1738, he was director or Principe. Masucci worked for the House of Savoy, and also obtained commissions from John V of Portugal due to his friendship with Filippo Juvarra and Luigi Vanvitelli. He was a tutor to Stefano Pozzi, Johann Zoffany, and Gavin Hamilton. He may have mentored Pompeo Batoni.
