He was particularly renowned for his skill in the<br \/>\nstudy of human feelings and for his gracious handling of nuance. He drew close to Caravaggio\u2019s<br \/>\nnaturalism after 1615, following a spell in Rome. His first recorded works were painted c. 1597 for<br \/>\nthe Sala del Concistoro in the Palazzo Pubblico in Siena where, at the age of twenty-six, he painted<br \/>\na number of lunettes under the guiding hand of his masters Francesco Vanni and Ventura<br \/>\nSalimbeni.<\/p>\n<p>Manetti made a name for himself with a fresco cycle which he painted in the Oratory of San Rocco<br \/>\nin Siena\u2019s Contrada della Lupa neighbourhood. His style began to veer towards that of Caravaggio<br \/>\nc. 1615, and in fact we can clearly distinguish a second phase in his stylistic development that is<br \/>\nmarkedly different from the style of his earlier work. His painting in this period, the 1620s,<br \/>\ncoincided with the peak of his artistic career, when he also produced a splendid <em>Rest on the Flight<\/em><br \/>\n<em>into Egypt<\/em> in the church of San Pietro alle Scale in Siena.<\/p>\n<p>Manetti was a meticulous student not only of Caravaggio\u2019s work but also of that of his followers in<br \/>\nRome, include Gerrit van Honthorst (Gherardo delle Notti), Valentin de Boulogne, Nicolas<br \/>\nTournier and Orazio and Artemisia Gentileschi. His most significant works include the <em>Assumption<\/em><br \/>\n<em>of the Virgin<\/em> (1632) in the Abbey of San Mercuriale in Forl\u00ec and <em>Dante and Virgil in Hell<\/em> now in<br \/>\nthe Pinacoteca Nazionale di Siena. He enjoyed such a great reputation in his native city that when<br \/>\nhe died, he was buried in Siena Cathedral.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-2977","artista","type-artista","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artista\/2977","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artista"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/artista"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pinacotecafaenza.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2977"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
