Domenico Corvi

Domenico Corvi (1721–1803) was an Italian painter at the close of the 18th century, active in an early Neoclassic style in Rome and surrounding sites.

His first major set of independent works in Rome were a series of canvases completed in 1758 and currently in Vedana, commissioned by the Cardinal Domenico Amedeo Orsini and including the altarpiece of St Michael Archangel for the church of Trinità dei Monti.

In 1756, along with Vincenzo Strigelli and Anton Angelo Falaschi, he frescoed the Oratorio del Gonfalone in Viterbo.

Again for the Borghese family, he helped restore the Capella Paolina in Santa Maria Maggiore and the Loggia of Lanfranco in the casino.

In 1774-1778 Corvi completed a canvas cycle for a Swiss Abbey in Solothurn, Switzerland, now apparently housed in the Cathedral of St Ursus in the town.
