Luca Ferrari , also Luca da Reggio (born February 17, 1605 in Reggio nell'Emilia , † February 8, 1654 in Padua ) was an Italian painter.

Act

Ferrari came from a family of goldsmiths. From 1567 to 1593 a Luca Ferrari worked at the Reggio nell'Emilia Cathedral. Ferrari was taught by Guido Reni and worked as a panel and fresco painter in Padua (where he was listed as a member of the Fraglia in 1639), Modena, Carpi and Venice. Here he carried out orders for churches as well as for private clients. He signed his pictures with "Luca da Reggio" and provided them with a year, so that his work between 1618 and 1651 can be easily assigned. The school of Guido Reni is expressed in his work, for example through liveliness or imagination and ingenuity. Mostly there are religious or historical topics up to mythology, allegories or portraiture. One of his first works is a Madonna that appears to the donors from 1618 in the Servite Church in Padua.
