Francesco Foschi (Ancona 1710 - Rome 1780)
Foschi's art is part of the great Roman schools; besides his first teacher, Francesco Mancini, his models were the Bolognese Guido Reni, his compatriot Carlo Maratta, and the Roman Ciro Ferri.
In 1755 he moved from Rome to Pesaro. In 1764 he returned to Rome, where he set up his studio in Piazza di Spagna. However, he continued to frequently return to the Marches, as evidenced by the subjects of his paintings.
