Circle of Francesco de Mura

'Circle of Francesco de Mura' refers to works produced by artists closely associated with, trained by, or working in the direct influence of the Neapolitan painter Francesco de Mura (1696, 1782), a leading figure of the late Baroque and Rococo in southern Italy. These works share stylistic characteristics with de Mura's elegant figural compositions, soft coloring, and devotional subject matter, but cannot be definitively attributed to the master himself. Such designations are commonly used by auction houses to indicate proximity to an artist's workshop or school without claiming direct authorship.
