Johann Carl Loth (Munich 1632 – Venice 1698), pupil/associate of David with the Head of Goliath Oil on canvas 113 x 86 cm Carl left his homeland to settle in Venice in 1632. In Venice, he was a student of both Pietro Liberi and Carlo Saraceni. A pivotal moment was the arrival in Venice of Giovanni Battista Langetti, who introduced the innovative Genoese style—enriched by Flemish influences from Rubens and van Dyck—as well as the teachings of Ribera and the raw Caravaggism. At the same time as Antonio Zanchi, he joined the group of the so-called “Tenebrosi” and immediately enjoyed considerable success. Upon the death of his Genoese master, his painting softened into more refined, elegant, and less violent expressions, achieving results similar to those being painted in Rome during the same years. His late-period painting, imbued with classicism, spread throughout Europe thanks to his students—such as Daniel Seiter, Hans Adam Weissenkircher, and Johann Michael Rottmayr—not to mention the influence he left on the art of Antonio Molinari in Venice. Johann Carl Loth (Munich 1632 – Venice 1698), follower/circle of David with the Head of Goliath Oil on canvas 113 x 86 cm
