Carlo Maria Mariani (Rome, 1931) is an Italian painter. Carlo M. Mariani creates works whose conception refers to classical art: from ancient Greece and ancient Rome. Without copying directly from works of the past. This characteristic makes Mariani a painter in line with the characteristics of late seventies painting: a moment in which the ''Tradition of the new'', carried on by Minimalism and Conceptual Art, had exhausted its energies, pushing the new artists to refer to the forms of ''Classical'' painting of the masters from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century. Mariani is considered a leading exponent of Anachronism and cultured painting theorized by the critic Italo Mussa in the eighties, and one of the internationally recognized contemporary masters.
