"The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares"

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 then worked in Mantua from 1613 to 1622, patronized by the Cardinal, later Duke Ferdinando I Gonzaga. In the Ducal Palace, he painted the Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes. The series of representations of New Testament parables he carried out for his patron's studio gave rise to a popular speciality, and he and his studio often repeated his compositions.

After moving to Venice he changed his style: his formalized painting style became more colorful. His group of paintings entitled Parables, which represent New Testament scenes, are at the Dresden Gemäldegalerie.
