Fialetti, Odoardo
(b Bologna, 1573; d Venice, 1638). Italian painter and printmaker. He was apprenticed in Bologna to Giovanni Battista Cremonini (d 1610) and after a short period in Rome moved to Venice, where he entered Tintoretto’s workshop. By 1596 he was listed as a printmaker and from 1604 to 1612 is recorded as a member of the Venetian Fraglia dei Pittori. His work, although it reveals hints of the Carracci and the influence of Flemish art, remains within the tradition of late Mannerism. His works for Italian churches include St Agnes (Venice, S Nicolò da Tolentino) and scenes from the Life of St Dominic (Venice, SS Giovanni e Paolo, sacristy), which can be dated to the first decade of the 17th century. Four portraits of doges and a picture of the Sala del Collegio (London, Hampton Court, Royal Col.), which shows a session of the Doge’s council, demonstrate Fialetti’s interest in portraiture and in combining vedute with elements of genre.
