Felice Torelli

Felice Torelli (9 September 1667 – 11 June 1748) was an Italian painter of the Baroque style, active mainly in Bologna.

He was born to a family of artists in Verona, including his brother, Giuseppe Torelli, a noted violinist and composer of concerti.

Felice was initially apprenticed to Santi Prunati in Verona, then to Giovanni Gioseffo dal Sole in Bologna.

In 1710, Torelli was one of the founders of the Accademia Clementina in Bologna, and during his time there, Giuseppe Maria Crespi was a member.

He painted St Vincent in the act of curing a lunatic woman for the church of the Dominicans in Faenza.
