Antonio Mercurio Amorosi was an Italian late Baroque (Rococo) painter who was active in Ascoli Piceno and Rome. Antonio Amorosi left for Rome in 1668 intending to study to become a priest, but in 1676 he met the painter Giuseppe Ghezzi, who brought him into his studio and with whom he studied for 11 years. Around 1690, he became independent and his first signed work from 1690 was the portrait of Filippo Ricci as a child. He was also a skilled copyist of Renaissance works and a restorer of paintings.
