"CAVALIERE FRANCESCO TREVISANI, painter, born at Capo d'Istria in 1656, was the son of Antonio Trevisani, an architect of some reputation, by whom he was instructed in the first rudiments of design. He afterwards became the disciple of Antonio Zanchi, at Venice. He visited Rome, where he studied under Maratti, and was favoured with the patronage of Cardinal Chigi. Chigi employed him in several considerable works, and recommended him to the protection of Pope Clement XI, who not only commissioned him to paint one of the Prophets in S. Giovanni Laterano, but engaged him to decorate the cupola of the cathedral at Urbino. . . . The public buildings of Rome abound with his works. He showed talent in imitating the style of the old masters, and was employed by the Duke of Modena in copying the works of Correggio, Parmigianino, and other favourite painters."
