Carlo Maratta or Maratti (13 May 1625 – 15 December 1713) was an Italian painter, active mostly in Rome, and known principally for his classicizing paintings executed in a Late Baroque Classical manner. Although he is part of the classical tradition stemming from Raphael, he was not exempt from the influence of Baroque painting and particularly in his use of colour. His contemporary and friend, Giovanni Bellori, wrote an early biography on Maratta.

Born in Camerano, then part of the Papal States, he went to Rome in 1636, accompanied by, Don Corintio Benicampi, secretary to Taddeo Barberini. He became an apprentice in the studio of Andrea Sacchi. It was at this time that the debate between Sacchi and Pietro da Cortona took place at the Accademia di San Luca, the artists academy in Rome. Sacchi argued that paintings should only have a few figures which should express the narrative whereas Cortona countered that a greater number of figures allowed for the development of sub themes. Maratta's painting can be seen as a compromise as he used a central scene, often a biblical story, and surrounded it with a variety of figures, including angels, saints and putti.

Maratta was a leading artist in Rome during the late 17th century and early 18th century, painting for the likes of Pope Clement IX and Pope Alexander VIII. He was also commissioned by Louis XIV of France, who he painted a portrait of in 1685. Maratta's work was highly praised by his contemporaries and his style influenced many artists of his time and beyond. His legacy is a rich and diverse body of work that continues to be studied and appreciated today.
