Andrea Pozzo - Death

Death

He died in Vienna in 1709 at a moment when he intended to return to Italy to design a new Jesuit church in Venice. He was buried with great honours in one of his best realisations, the Jesuit church in Vienna. Agostino Collaceroni was also a pupil.

His brother, Giuseppe Pozzo, became a barefooted and Carmelite monk of Venice, and was also a painter. He decorated the high altar of the church of the Scalzi in that city during the last years of the 17th century.
