Luca Longhi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Luca Longhi (1507-1580), was an Italian Mannerist painter from Ravenna, Italy who primarily produced religious paintings and portraits. His works include The Marriage of Saint Catherine, The Lady and the Unicorn [1], Adoration by the Shepards [2], and Virgin and Child with Saints Sebastian and Rocco [3]. A skilled portrait painter, he painted numerous portraits of local dignitaries, patricians, and professional men of Ravenna. He trained two of his children, Francesco Longhi (1544 – 1618) and Barbara Longhi (1552-1638). Barbara collaborated with him on several of his later works, including The Marriage of Cana (1580), incorporating portraits of Barbara and Francesco Longhi.
