Domenico Maroli

Domenico Maroli (1612 -May 23, 1676) was an Italian painter, active in a Baroque style in Sicily and Venice.

He trained in his native Messina, Sicily, beginning at the age of 22 years under Antonio Barbalonga.

Among his religious subjects are Loth and her daughters and the Ecstasy of St Peter of Alcantara[2] An interesting large genre-historic canvas depicting Euclid of Megara Dressing as a Woman to Hear Socrates Teach in Athens has been attributed to Maroli's stay in Venice.

[3] Among the works attributed to him was a painting of storm-tossed naked maidens that was judged by some to be licentious.

[4] He is said to have been involved in the Revolutions of 1674-1676[5] This article about an Italian painter born in the 17th century is a stub.
