The University is exhibiting works by Francesco Noletti, known as il Maltese, which have never been shown to the public.

Francesco Noletti: The Grand Roman Baroque Still-life, is the first major presentation of Noletti’s work, which also assesses the influence he exerted on the Roman Baroque tradition of still-life painting.

The restored halls of the upper floor of the Valletta campus, which has housed the only known portrait of Francesco Noletti (c.1611–54) for some 275 years, is hosting the exhibition organised by the Department of History of Art. Most of the works come from private collections and are being shown in public for the first time.

• The exhibition runs until June 8. Entrance is free.
