Paolo Monaldi (1710-1779)
• Was an Italian painter of the late-Baroque or Rococo style.
• He was born and died in Rome.
• Monaldi initially trained in the studio of Paolo Anesi.
• Monaldi worked under Anesi in the fresco decoration of the Villa Chigi, presumably of Cardinal Flavio Chigi, painted between 1765 and 1767.
• In particular, he contributed to the paintings depicting the myth of Diana and Endymion, and with Angelica and Medoro over a series of eight landscapes with bambocciate.
• He was also a painter for Palazzo Rospigliosi, Palazzo Braschi and the Accademia di San Luca.
• On the basis of the Lanzi, Stefano Ticozzi in his Dictionary of Painters by the renewing of Fine Arts until 1800, cites him as "not ignoble painter bambocciate".
