Pier Francesco Mola
1612–1666
(bapt. Coldrerio, nr. Lugano, 9 Feb. 1612; d Rome, 13 May 1666). Italian Baroque painter. Although he spent most of his life in Rome, his style, characterized by warm colouring and soft modelling, was formed mainly on the example of Guercino and Venetian art (his early career is not well documented, but he probably spent much of the period 1633–47 in north Italy).
