Ludovico Trasi
Ludovico Trasi (1634–February 20, 1694) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, born and active in Ascoli Piceno.
Trasi was born to a little known painter, Antonio Trasi, who sent his son to study abroad. Contemporarily with his life-long friend Carlo Maratta, Trasi was a pupil of Andrea Sacchi in Rome. Returning to Ascoli, he was active in painting churches and as a scenic designer for the theater.[1] He painted a San Niccolo for the church of San Cristoforo in Ascoli.
Among his pupils were Tommaso Nardini and Luca Vitelli.[2] His brother, Giovanni Trasi, was also a painter and became a later collaborator in quadratura with Pier-Sante Cicala.[3]
