Biography
He developed an anacronistic style that imitated quattrocento painters. Among his frescoes are those depicting: Sacred and Profane Music, Poetry, and a Choir of Putti (1852) in a salon of the house of count Guicciardini in Florence. He painted the frescoes of the Life of St Anne for the chapel dei Giuntini in San Giuseppe. Among his canvases in oil is one of the Virgin about to embrace her Jesus as a child (1843) and a Glory of the Virgin (1847) for the church of Santa Maria delle Carceri in Prato.
Marini was employed in restoration (1840) of the frescoes in the Palazzo del Podesta of Prato.[1]
