Corrado Giaquinto (1703–1766) was one of the finest Rococo painters of 18th-century Europe — an Italian master whose ceiling frescoes, altarpieces, and allegorical compositions dazzled the courts of Naples, Rome, Turin, and Madrid with their extraordinary lightness, elegance, and chromatic brilliance. His palette was distinctive — soft pinks, warm golds, celestial blues — and his compositions full of swirling figures, billowing drapery, and the kind of divine theatricality that the Baroque and Rococo periods did better than any era before or since. In counted cross stitch, Giaquinto's luminous colour and graceful figurative style translate into designs of rare beauty.
