Antonio Travi Art

1608-1665
Antonio Travi (Sestri Ponente, 1608 - Genoa, 10 February 1665) was an Italian painter. He was born in Sestri Ponente near Genoa in 1608, from a poor family and unable to support him in his studies. Despite his indigence, he managed to carry out an apprenticeship with the painter Bernardo Strozzi. He painted the Mystical Marriage of Santa Caterina for the church of Santa Caterina in Sestri Ponente, which remained his only altarpiece, however of a modest level. The turning point that gave it a certain grandeur was the choice of the landscape genre. Before 1630 Gottfried Wals of Cologne had been hosted by Strozzi and, from the example he had received from this contact, Travi discovered his true vocation, becoming a landscape painter. His life does not have exceptional events, and it takes place in seclusion. In 1658 Travi married Antonietta Briani in a second marriage, celebrated in the parish church of Sestri Ponente. In 1665 the painter died. He had therefore learned the genre that makes him important from a Flemish. The Italianized Nordic painters came to Italy to go to Rome or Naples, and were often passing through Genoa, or always on the road they were welcomed by Cosimo II de 'Medici in Florence. They carried on their type of landscape made up of elements taken from life, which is no longer the true lenticular of the ancient Flemings of a century or two before, with a display of precious details, but a truly random and photogrammatic spread following Caravaggism.
