Cesare Agostino Detti, or Cesare-Auguste Detti (1847, Spoleto - May 19 1914, Paris) was an Italian painter🎨, best known for his historical genre scenes, largely from the 17th and 18th Centuries, inspired by the Troubadour style.
His father, Davide Detti, was an engineer and an amateur painter. As a result, his early interest in art was encouraged.
In 1861, he made the acquaintance of Francesco Coghetti, a painter from Rome who was creating murals at the Teatro Nuovo (now known as the Teatro Nuovo Gian Carlo Menotti).
Coghetti suggested that Detti receive formal training at the Accademia di San Luca, where he was a professor.
