Pierre Hubert Subleyras (1699 – 1749)

• Was a French painter.
• Subleyras was active during the late-Baroque and early-Neoclassic period, mainly in Italy.
• He was a remarkably incisive portraitist, as evident from the portrait of Pope Benedict XIV or of the obese Cardinal Valenti Gonzaga.
• The pope himself commanded two great paintings, the "Marriage of St Catherine" and the "Ecstasy of St Camilla", which he placed in his own private apartments.
