SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Francesco Cozza, born in Calabria around 1605 and deceased in Rome in 1682, was an Italian Baroque painter. Documented in Rome in 1631, he worked in Domenichino’s studio as a pupil and collaborator. This training connected his early work with Bolognese classicism. His Roman career subsequently developed a language more receptive to Baroque movement, both in religious paintings and in extensive decorative schemes commissioned for architectural settings.
In 1658 and 1659, Cozza painted the frescoes of the Stanza del Fuoco at Palazzo Doria Pamphilj in Valmontone. Hagar and Ishmael in the Wilderness, signed and dated 1665 and held by the Rijksmuseum, reveals another aspect of his practice. A landscape accommodates the biblical narrative while an angel directs Hagar towards a spring. The relationship between figures and surroundings supports the story’s clarity and devotional significance.
