画家彼得罗·达·科尔托纳（Pietro Da Cortona）是当时极受欢迎的一位画家。他的作品大都满足了教皇、国王、贵族或富商巨贾们的要求。彼得罗·达·科尔托纳有巨大的创作潜力，构思灵活、绘制敏捷，但却因一味迎合，无形中降低了作品的质量。
彼得罗·达·科尔托纳创作了不少作品并绘制一些装饰壁画，著名的有《劫持萨宾妇女》和贝利尼宫的《众神》等。彼得罗·达·科尔托纳的这些作品带有比较明显的巴洛克风格，在空间的处理上往往给人一种梦幻般的感觉。科尔托纳的构图具有变幻莫测，灵活多变的特点，他的人物造型却带有风格主义的夸张。彼得罗·达·科尔托纳的壁画的成功之处在于风格上与博罗米尼建筑的协调，完成了巴洛克建筑、雕刻和绘画一体化的任务。
