Francesco Polazzo

Rebecca al pozzo con Eleaza San Francesco della Vigna

Francesco Polazzo (1683–1753) was an Italian painter of the late-Baroque period, active mainly in Venice. He was a pupil of Giovanni Battista Piazzetta, and painted portraits and historical subjects, though better known as a restorer of pictures. Lanzi said of him that he softened down the style of Piazzetta with that of Ricci.
