Pasqualino Rossi (Vicenza 1641 – Rome 1722) Adoration of the Shepherds Oil on canvas 85 x 113 cm We thank Professor Michele Danieli for studying the work and providing the verbal attribution Pasqualino Rossi, a painter originally from Vicenza, was active in the Marche region and in Rome, where he was appreciated and sought after by important patrons, such as the Pallavicini, Pamphilj, and Colonna families. His religious paintings reveal a strong attachment to the artistic tradition of the Marche region, as exemplified by Lorenzo Lotto and Federico Barocci. For his renowned scenes of everyday life, he engaged with other 17th-century masters, from the Venetian Pietro Vecchia—known for his irreverent tendency toward the grotesque and the caricatured—to the Bamboccianti, admired for their ability to capture the essence of everyday life, and even the models of Monsù Bernardo, Antonio Amorosi, with whom he shared a focus on depictions of the poor.
