LUTI, luu'te, Benedetto (166G-1724). An Italian painter, born in Florence, pupil of Gab- biani. Intending to continue his studies under Ciro Ferri, he went to Rome, but that mas- ter having just died, Luti applied himself to studying his works and those of other good masters, and formed for himself a style which may be considered a compound of various imi- tations. He enjoyed great reputation in Rome as a painter in fresco and in oil, w^as honored with commissions by Pope Clement XL, and was knighted by the Emperor. The more rigid critics were wont to call him the last painter of the Florentine school. In the Uffizi Gallery, Flor- ence, may be seen his "Finding of Moses" and a portrait of himself; in the Louvre, "The Mag- dalen;" and at Cassel, "The Virgin Reading." one of his most charming creations. Others are in the galleries of Darmstadt, ilunich. Dresden, and Saint Petersburg, and the "Vestment of Saint Ranieri" is the most admired among the larger paintings in the cathedral at Pisa.
