Born in Taranto, Italy, Roberto Ferri began to study painting at first as a self-taught person and, after moving to Rome in 1999, he deepened his research on ancient painting from the early ’16 century till late ’19 century. Inspired deeply by Baroque painters, especially Caravaggio and other Old Masters of Romanticism, Academism and Symbolism (David, Ingres, Girodet, Gericault, Gleyre, Bouguereau, Moreau, Redon, Rops, etc.)
