Carlo Maratta or Maratti (13 May 1625 - 15 December 1713) was an Italian painter; active mostly in Rome; and known principally for his classicizing paintings executed in a Late Baroque Classical manner.

Although he is part of the classical tradition stemming from Raphael; he was not exempt from the influence of Baroque painting and particularly in his use of colour. His contemporary and friend; Giovanni Bellori; wrote an early biography on Maratta
