The tiburtine sibyl, leaning on her right arm, looks towards the sky. Against a dark and undefined background, the tunic, with numerous folds, and the fleshy tone of the skin stand out clearly. His left hand rests on a piece of writing francesco cozza (stignano, 1605 – rome, january 13, 1682) is an italian painter. After having traveled through giovanni in the native calabria, francesco cozza returned to rome where he was an apprentice of domenichino[1],[2]. His presence is inevitably registered in rome in the parish of sant'andrea delle fratte, ospite dei minimi di san francesco di paola, shortly after 1630, anno in which the domenichino did return to naples. Rimase ospite dei minimi fine in 1634; in this period i followed domenichino to napoli and frascati. Rimase a roma e nei dintorni di roma per i rimanenti anni della sua vita. The death occurred on the 13th gennaio of 1682, until the last day was written in his will (9th gennaio). Pare fosse cugino, on behalf of his mother, from his friend tommaso campanella from whom he gave a portrait preserved by the collection of the fondazione camillo caetani a sermoneta. See less
