Feti (or Fetti), Domenico (1589–1624)

Italian painter. He worked for Cardinal Ferdinando Gonzaga, who became duke of Mantua, and was made court painter in Mantua. After 1622 he lived in Venice. Small pictures, many illustrative of the biblical parables, are typical.

Feti studied in Rome. His early work was in the manner of Michelangelo Merisi Caravaggio, though he was also an admirer of the German painter Adam Elsheimer, the early work of Peter Paul Rubens, and Venetian painting.
