"But the day belonged to versions of Carlo Maratti's Late Baroque classicism. The reader will recall that the ascendancy of Maratti dates from the mid 1670s, which corresponds fairly precisely with Domenico Guidi's in sculpture and Carlo Fontana's in architecture. At about this moment artists of the second and third rank changed their manner to fall in with the new fashion. . . . Maratti's manner was carried over even into the second half of the eighteenth century by artists like Agostino Masucci (1692-1768) and the more considerable Francesco Mancini (ca. 1700-1758), and his pupil Stefano Pozzi (1699-1768). The general verdict on Maratti's succession must be that it ended in a pleasant but purely conventional art, a soft and feeble formalism without a hope of regeneration."
