Pietro Nelli

Pietro Antonio Nelli (29 June 1672, Massa – 1740, Rome) was an Italian painter of the Rococo period.

Many of these works, and other portrayals of religious leaders, became widely familiar through engravings made by Girolamo Rossi, Niccolò Billy, and Giovanni Giacomo Frey.

His religious works include an altarpiece for the Civita Castellana Cathedral and canvases for the church of Sant'Onofrio, Rome.

In the Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere, he painted a panel depicting Jesus.

He was a member of the Pontifical Academy of Fine Arts and Letters of the Virtuosi al Pantheon.
