Bartsch 21.

Vespasiano STRADA (Roma 1582 – 1622)
|
Italian painter and etcher of Spanish origin. He is thought to have trained with Ventura Salimbeni, who deeply influenced his art. Baglione listed frescoes in the oratory of S Giacomo di Scossacavalli, in S Maria d’Aracoeli (showing the Miracles of S Diego) and in the cloister of S Onofrio, all Roman churches, as being among his most important works as a painter. Twenty-one etchings have been attributed to him by Bartsch; they feature religious subjects and include variants on the theme of the Virgin and Child. They are uneven in quality and hence presumed to have been executed in different phases of the artist’s career.
