      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Self-Portrait</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Carlo (or Carlino) Dolci was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Florence. Dolci was born and died in Florence, the grandson of a painter on his mother’s side. While he was precocious and apprenticed at a young age with Jacopo Vignali, Dolci was not prolific. It is said that in 1682, when he saw Giordano, nicknamed <em>“fa presto”</em> (∼quick), paint more in five hours than he could have completed in months, he fell into depression.” He would take weeks over a single foot”, according to biographer Baldinucci. This painstaking technique made him unsuited for large-scale fresco painting. He used pencil chiefly for sacred subjects, and generally painted in a small size, although he made a few life-size pictures. His daughter, Agnese Dolci, showed excellence in copying the works of her father.</p>

      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/Dolci/Dolci_MadonnaAndChild.jpg" alt=" Madonna and Child "></p>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Mary with the Infant Jesus</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Dolci works are easily distinguishable by the detail of the composition. Pilkington declared: “His touch inexpressibly neat, and … though he has often been censured for the excessive labor bestowed on his pictures, and for giving his carnations more of the appearance of ivory than the look of flesh”, a flaw that had been already apparent in Agnolo Bronzino.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/Dolci/Dolci_ChildWithFlowers.jpg" alt=" Child with Flowers "></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Child with Flowers</div>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">St. Catherine Reading a Book</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">The grand manner, vigorous coloration or luminosity, and dynamic emotion of the Bolognese-Roman Baroque are foreign to Dolci and Baroque Florence. While he fits into a long tradition of prestigious official Florentine painting, Dolci appears constitutionally blind to the new aesthetic, shackled by the Florentine tradition that holds each drawn figure under a microscope of academicism. Wittkower describes him as the Florentine counterpart, in terms of devotional imaging, of the Roman Sassoferrato.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/Dolci/Dolci_BlueMadonna.jpg" alt=" Blue Madonna "></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Blue Madonna</div>

      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Portrait of a Man 1650</div>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/Dolci/Dolci_St.RoseOLima.jpg" alt=" St. Rose of Lima "></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">St. Rose of Lima</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Dolci was notoriously pious; it is said that during Passion week every year, he painted a half-figure of the Savior wearing the Crown of Thorns. His masterpieces are about sacred themes, where the protagonist is often highly emotive, somewhat over-wrought. There is a want of character in his pictures, and his grouping lacks harmony, but the general tone accords with the idea of the passion portrayed.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/Dolci/Dolci_ChristSuffering.jpg" alt=" Christ Suffering "></p>
      <div class="boldcap wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s">Christ Suffering</div>
      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Among the best works of this master are the St Sebastian; the <em>Four Evangelists</em> at Florence; <em>Christ Breaking the Bread</em>d; the <em>St Cecilia</em>; an <em>Adoration of the Magi</em>; and a masterpiece is his <em>St Andrew praying before his Crucifixion</em> in the Pitti gallery. He completed his portrait of <em>Fra Ainolfo de’ Bardi</em>, when he was 16 years old. He also painted a large altarpiece (1656) for the church of Sant’ Andrea Cennano in Montevarchi. As was not atypical for Florentine painters, it was a painting about painting – and has the Virgin of Soriano upholding a miraculous and iconic painting of the St. Dominic.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/Dolci/Dolci_HeadOfJohnTheBaptist.jpg" alt=" Salome with the Head of John the Baptist, 1665-1670"></p>

      <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1976, one of Dolci’s painting “Madonna of the Veil” was stolen from a private collector and has not been recovered since. How many other stolen or missing paintings by Dolci are out there? We may never know.</p>
      <p align="center" class="wow fadeInRight" data-wow-delay=".4s"><img src="uploads/artists/Dolci/Dolci_MadonnaOfTheVeil.jpg" alt=" Madonna of the Veil "></p>
