"A gifted teacher with a large studio, Luti held private classes in life drawing and took a leading role in the affairs of the Accademia di San Luca, of which he was elected Principe in 1720.  Recognized as a fine connoisseur himself, Luti was also active as an art dealer, agent and collector in Rome, eventually assembling a large collection of drawings by earlier artists, said to have numbered almost 14,000 sheets."
