Career

Educated in Rome, Domenico Duprà was a disciple of Francesco Trevisani. He was also strongly influenced by the French school of portrait. From 1719 he began working at the Lisbon court of King John V, the Magnanimous of Portugal, where he remained notably as court painter until 1730.

Back in Rome he was employed by the exiled Jacobite court of the Stuarts at the Palazzo Muti.

He died at Turin in 1770.
