Francesco Migliori

Who is Francesco Migliori?

Francesco Migliori, also known as Francesco Megliori was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in his native Republic of Venice.

His training is not known, though an adherence to the style of the tenebrosi suggests the school of Antonio Molinari. Migliori first appears in the records of the painter's guild starting in 1711. His name appears in 1722 as the author of a series of paintings in the inventory for the gallery of Frederick Augustus I, Elector of Saxony. A first group of paintings depicts mostly biblical subjects: Cain and Abel, the Sacrifice of Isaac, a Joseph interprets the dreams, a Lot and his daughters, and Cimon and Pero. The influence of Bencovich and Piazetta is evident. Later, he sent two mythological scenes with Bacchus and Ariadne and the Rape of Europa
