Pietro Benvenuti was the leading neoclassical history painter and portraitist in Tuscany in the early decades of the nineteenth century. He was born in Arezzo and entered the Accademia di Belle Arte in Florence as a young man. In his twenties, he traveled to Rome where he came under the influence of Antonio Canova and Vincenzo Camuccini (who remained a lifelong friend), and was exposed to the great works of Italian Baroque painting. Benvenuti’s career flourished in Rome under the period of French rule, and he returned to Florence in 1803 as director of the Accademia di Belle Arte. He received commissions from Napoleon, decorated new rooms in the Palazzo Pitti in 1811-12 and frescoed the dome of the Capella Medicea at San Lorenzo.
