Made by ‘Luca Chiamberlano’ after ‘Pietro da Cortona’. Made by ?Luca Ciamberlano? after ?Pietro Berretini da Cortona?. Luca Ciamberlano (1580-1641) was an Italian painter and engraver, born at Urbino. In the early part of his life he applied himself to the study of civil law. He then abandoned the study of jurisprudence to devote himself to painting and engraving, particularly the latter. He became the leading graphic artist of his day. Pietro da Cortona (1596-1669, born Berretini) was a leading Italian Baroque painter and one of the key figures in the development of Roman Baroque architecture.
