Gaetano Sabatini


Gaetano Sabatini, also known as il Mutarolo due to his deaf-mutism, was an Italian draftsman and Baroque painter.
Born in Bologna to a domestic worker for the aristocratic Marescalchi family, he perfected his style first in drawing, then in painting. The painter Francesco Monti mentored him as a painter. He painted an altarpiece of the church of the Celestine order in Bologna. He died young in Bologna.
The Getty Museum has a self-portrait by Sabatini.
