Agostino Verrocchi (1586-1659)[1] was an Italian painter, mainly depicting still-life subjects during the Baroque period.[2] He was active from 1619 to 1636 and mainly in Rome. Verrocchi, alongside other Roman artists like Tomasso Salini, is known for pioneering a new type of still life which placed objects on different levels, to create depth and complexity.[3]
He has been featured in two exhibitions. The first was titled La Natura morta al tempo di Caravaggio, Roma at the Musei Capitolini during December 1995 to April 1996.[4] The second, L'incantesimo dei sensi was at the Museo Accorsi - Ometto of Turin in 2005, where he was displayed alongside relative contemporaries such as Maestro Acquavella, Pietro Paolo Bonzi, Fede Galizia, Panfilo Nuvolone, Giuseppe Recco, and Giambattista Ruoppolo.[5]
