Pittori, centri di produzione e collezionismo fra XVII e XVIII secolo, Milan 2000, p. 266, illustrated p. 262, fig. 278 (as Carlo Manieri) Carlo Manieri was a still-life painter active in late seventeenth century Rome. The artist’s works have been catalogued under the moniker of the ‘Master of the Floridana’ and signed works such as the present painting are rare (see G. and U. Bocchi, Pittori di natura morta a Roma, Viadana 2005, pp. 525–528). Manieri was admitted to the ‘Congregazione dei Virtuosi al Pantheon’ in 1662 and remained there until 1675. He lived in the parish of San Lorenzo in Lucina until at least 1680. Several of his works are documented in prestigious Roman collections, such as in the 1714 Colonna inventory and the 1735 Pamphilj inventory, as well as in the Valenti Gonzaga collection.
