"Ludovico Mazzanti was active from the end of the 17th century until after 1760 and is to be counted among the followers of the artistic direction associated with Giovanni Battista Gaulli. Mazzanti's artistic production, which was not much admired, was divided between Rome and Naples. There are further works by Mazzanti in Perugia, Città di Castello, and especially in Viterbo. Mazzanti is very uneven in his achievements; he preserves even less of Gaulli's fine painterly qualities than does Giovanni Odazzi, but does surpass his older colleague in decorative energy and grandiosity. The art of Luca Giordano and his followers clearly had an enduring influence on him during his Neapolitan period."

"The only section of the vaulting of S. Ignazio that was left undecorated by Andrea Pozzo was the transverse arch of the left transept, a fact that was expressly regretted by Pascoli in 1736, since he thought that it would never again be possible 'to attain that high degree of quality in respect to unity and harmony which artistic creations can achieve only when the entire work is entrusted to a single hand.' Titi's Studio di pittura, scultura, architettura delle chiesa di Roma, in the edition of 1763, mentions the fresco of Mazzanti in this location [above]. Mazzanti's work was in fact no adequate substitute for Pozzo, though this is one of his best works."
