Angelo Martinetti

Angelo Martinetti was an Italian painter, mainly of still-lives depicting game.
He was the brother of the controversial antiquarian and numismatist, Francesco Martinetti. Sometime around the year 1870, Angelo donated to the Louvre Museum a club quite similar to the one depicted in the Farnese Hercules statue. This donation was undertaken through the mediation of Count Konstanty Tyszkiewicz of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. He exhibited paintings of game in many exhibitions, including at Turin in 1880 and at Rome in 1883. In 1882, the art gallery on Duke Street, [St James's] received some still life paintings from Angelo, which they said were "full of vivid color and imitative quality".
