Also known as
Paolo De Matteis, Paul Mattei
Paolo de Matteis (1662–1728) was an Italian painter associated with the Baroque period. The available biographical source places his birth at Piano del Cilento, near Salerno, on 9 February 1662 and records his death in Naples on 26 January 1728. His identity is represented across several established authority systems, including Wikidata, Getty ULAN, VIAF, the Library of Congress, and the Bibliothèque nationale de France. These records help distinguish him from similarly named artists and connect variant forms of his name; the French form Paul Mattei also appears in the collected material. Collectors are most likely to encounter his name in connection with paintings catalogued in Old Master and broader Baroque auction contexts. Because historical works may be presented with differing attribution language, the authority identifiers and name variants are useful starting points, but they do not independently authenticate an individual object.
BaroquePainting
Common works and media
Painting is the only work type directly established by the collected identity sources. Accordingly, paintings are the most confidently supported category for this page. The source pack does not contain sufficient evidence to characterize recurring subjects, supports, series, print editions, drawings, sculptures, or other media, so those categories should be added only after stronger museum, scholarly, or auction-lot documentation is available.
Market and appraisal context
The available evidence establishes Paolo de Matteis as a Baroque painter and confirms that public auction records are associated with his artist page, but the source pack does not provide enough lot-level evidence for a price trend or valuation range. An appraisal should therefore begin with the precise catalogue attribution and then assess medium, support, dimensions, subject, date, condition, provenance, and any restoration history. Public sales are useful only when the comparison is genuinely similar and the sale date and realized price are documented. Listings described as workshop, circle, follower, school, or after the artist should not be treated as equivalent to fully attributed works without further scholarly and physical evidence.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Paintings
Value drivers
- Comparability of public auction records catalogued for Paolo de Matteis, including sale dates and realized prices when those data are available
- Confirmation that the object belongs to the painting medium established for the artist in the available identity sources
Appraisal caveats
- The collected sources do not provide lot-level condition, provenance, dimensions, attribution qualifiers, or realized-price examples.
- The number of auction records associated with an artist page does not by itself establish authorship, authenticity, scarcity, or a price trend.
- Object-specific appraisal requires examination of attribution, date, medium, support, dimensions, condition, provenance, and genuinely comparable public sales.
