'''Pietro Negri''' (1628, [[Venice]] - 31 May 1679, Venice) was an Italian painter in the [[Baroque art|Baroque]] style who belonged to the so-called "tenebrosi" (dark or gloomy ones).
== Biography ==
He was likely born in Venice. Early sources assumed that he was the son of a sculptor named Domenico Negri, but his father's name is given as Lunardo in some documents and Francesco in others. His first art lessons came from [[Matteo Ponzone]]. Later, he worked with [[Francesco Ruschi]]. In his early days, much of his work is difficult to distinguish, stylistically, from [[Antonio Zanchi]].
His first verified work is from 1658, when he signed an engraving on the [[frontispiece]] of ''Antioco'' by the poet, [[Nicolò Minato]]. The paintings attributed to him, prior to the 1660s, are all missing. A painting of ''Antonio e Cleopatra'' is dated from c.1664. In 1670, he produced the ''Albero serafico dei Ordini francescani'' (Seraphic Tree of the [[Franciscans]]), currently at the [[basilica]] of [[Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari]]. One of his best known works is ''Nerone che esamina il corpo di Agrippina'' (Nero Examining the Corpse of Agrippina), in the collection of the [[Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister]] in [[Dresden]].<ref>[https://ift.tt/2CH5Nok Fondazione Zeri]</ref>
He married Franceschina Maria Barbara, with whom he had two sons. She died shortly after giving birth to the second and he remarried in 1673, to Angela Caroli, the widow of a merchant.
In 1673, he created what many consider to be his masterpiece; a monumental "telero" (canvas applied directly to a wall) depicting [[Mark the Evangelist]] and [[Saint Rocco]], who interceded with the [[Virgin Mary]] to end a plague in Venice, on the left wall of the staircase at the [[Scuola Grande di San Rocco]], opposite a depiction of the [[1629–1631 Italian plague|plague of 1630]], by Zanchi.<ref>[https://ift.tt/2V5slq3 Foto della tela su Atlante dell'arte italiana.] </ref>
He also took the occasional student; notably the [[Late Baroque]] painter, [[Simone Brentana]].
He died of what is believed to have been [[tuberculosis]]. He was interred, at his widow's expense, in the , which was demolished in 1873, after many years of serving as a mill.
