From the Caribbean to Rome: Studies on Francesco Cadet
Lothar Sickel
Francesco Cadet, Coriolanus persuaded by his family to spare Rome, Private Collection
Until his death in January 1830, Francesco Cadet worked as a painter and restorer in Rome for more than five decades. His name is only mentioned in passing in the literature. This study reconstructs not only an artist’s biography but also a rare facet of the social history of Roman culture.
