"The Unforgiving Servant Choking the Other Debtor"

Domenico Fetti (also spelled Feti) (c. 1589 – 16 April 1623) was an Italian Baroque painter who was active mainly in Rome, Mantua and Venice. He adopted the Roman Baroque stylewhlehelived in Venice. He adapted some of the rich colouration of Venice but adapted it to Caravaggio-influenced realism and monumentality. Fetti changed his style: his formalized painting style became more colourful. In addition, he devoted attention to smaller cabinet pieces that adapt genre imaging to religious stories. His group of paintings entitled Parables, which represent New Testament scenes, are at the Dresden Gemäldegalerie. His painting style appears to have been influenced by Rubens. He would likely have continued to find excellent patronage in Venice had he not died there in 1623 or 1624.
