Matteo Loves was a painter active in Cento from about 1625 to 1662. Few biographical details are known. It is said he was born in Cologne to an English family, and arrived as a young man in Cento, where he trained with Guercino.[1][2] Works by Loves can be found in the Pinacoteca of Cento and in the church of San Rocco e San Sebastiano.[3][4]
