Balthasar Lauwers

Balthasar Lauwers, known in Italy as Baldassare Lauri or Baldassare Lauro (Antwerp, baptized on 18 April 1578 - Rome, 4 August 1645) was a Flemish landscape painter who, after initially training in Antwerp, had a successful career in Italy where he worked for an elite clientele. As he was mainly active as a fresco painter in private residences, not many of his works have been preserved.
