R Moretti (1863-1913) was active / lived in Italy.
Known for figure, genre paintings and specialized in images of cardinals.
Cardinals in red.
A later, pious explanation led to today's understanding that the cardinals wear scarlet red as an outward sign of their willingness to shed their blood in defense of the Catholic faith. The purple worn by bishops today is not a true purple, but rather a magenta color.
