Antonio David
Antonio David (1698–1750) was an Italian painter.[1][2][3] He was the son of Lodovico Antonio David (1648 - 1730), a portrait artist and religious scene painter.[3]
David was the official painter for the exiled Jacobite court living in Rome.[4] He was appointed Painter to his Majesty James Francis Edward Stuart in 1718.[5]
David painted primarily portraits, and for twenty years worked almost exclusively with the House of Stuart.[1] In 1729, he was paid in advance for official portraits of Prince Charles Edward Stuart and his brother Prince Henry.[1]
He died in 1750.[1]
