Who was Antonio Molinari?

Antonio Molinari was an Italian painter of the Baroque era in Venice.

Son of a painter, he apprenticed with Antonio Zanchi in Venice. He was strongly influenced by the vigorous and athletic paintings of Neapolitan painters like Luca Giordano. He typically painted tumultuous narratives of mythology and religion in large canvases. This would influence his pupil, Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, and his grand manner style.

Among his works are the Feeding of the Five Thousand and the Death of Uzzah; Fight of Centaurs and Lapiths.
