Who was Mario Nuzzi?

Mario Nuzzi, or Mario de' Fiori was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Rome. He was a pupil of the painter Tommaso Salini. He was among the first Italians specializing in still life painting of flower arrangements. He also painted a celebrated Concert of Birds, an often repeated model which here arranges an encyclopedic diversity of realistically depicted fowl on branches as a chorus around an owl.

Among his pupils were Laura Bernasconi and Domenico Bettini. A painting of Nuzzi at work, features a portrait by Giovanni Maria Morandi. He joined the Accademia di San Luca in Rome in 1657.
