Under the brilliant Italian sun, born in Trento on November 30, 1642, began the life of Andrea Pozzo, a virtuoso of the Baroque period who had a lasting impact on the art scene of his time, not only as a painter but also as an architect. Pozzo, also known as Puteus or Pozzi, left behind a rich legacy of works, most notable for their mastery of the trompe l'oeil dome fresco technique. This legacy continues today in the form of exquisite art prints that brilliantly display his artistic skills.
Pozzo, who was a lay brother in the Jesuit order, established himself as the leading theorist of illusionist painting of his time. His treatise Perspectiva pictorum et architectorum was recognized far and wide as the basis for the practical application of perspective in painting and architecture. The completion of this theoretical work is clearly seen in the ceiling fresco of the nave dome of Sant'Ignazio in Rome, in which he depicts the Assumption of St. Ignatius using the technique of quadrature painting. After 1702, Pozzo moved to Vienna at the invitation of Emperor Leopold I, where he continued to produce impressive works, including his famous mock dome in the Jesuit Church of 1703. His work in Vienna also included frescoes in the garden palace of the Princes of Liechtenstein in the Roßau district, although his death prevented him from completing more than the frescoes in the Herkulessaal, the palace's great banqueting hall.
The rest of Pozzo's work, which includes the perspective frescoes in the Roman church of Sant'Ignazio, the Baroque altar in the main Jesuit church in Rome, Il Gesù, and the design of the Cathedral of St. Nicholas in Ljubljana (stolnica), reflects his extraordinary contribution to the art of his time. Pozzo's works, whose style is characterized by strong foreshortening of perspective and in which quadrature painting plays a prominent role, are brought to life today in our art prints. They allow us to carry on his artistic legacy and celebrate the high level of his artistry. We are honored to express his stories and influence on the world of art in our high quality art prints that invite the viewer to lose themselves in Pozzo's world of illusion and wonder.
