Mehus, Livio [Lieven]
(b Oudenaarde, c. 1630; d Florence, 7 Aug 1691). Flemish painter and draughtsman, active in Italy. He painted allegorical and mythological scenes, landscapes and religious works. He was an eclectic artist, drawing on a wide variety of sources to create a highly individual and innovative style. His art united Venetian colour with elements of the proto-romanticism of Salvator Rosa, Pier Francesco Mola and Pietro Testa, and he was also inspired by Genoese, Bolognese and Flemish sources.
