Доменикино Domenico Zampieri биография работы

I greet everyone, we continue to consider the works of artists and get acquainted with their autobiography. Domenicino Zamperi, or just Domenici, an Italian baroque artist who belonged to the Bologna School of Painters. I use Wikipedia. Born in Bologna in the family of the bootmaker on October 21, 1581. In Bologna, he received his primary education, studied with Denis Calvard. After a quarrel with Calvard, he went to work at the Academy of Deli Incominati Caracci, where, due to his small height, he received the nickname Dominicino, which in translation from Italian means Little Domenicino. He left Bologna for Rome in 1602, became one of the most talented students, graduated from under the leadership of Annibale Caracci. Being a young artist, in Rome he lived with his slightly more adult Bolognese colleagues Albani and Guidarini, and worked side by side with Lanfranco, who later became his main competitor. His most important project of the first decade was the design of the chapel of Santissimi Pandatori, a medieval basilica of the abbey of Grottoferrato, about 20 km from Rome. After his death, Annibale Caracci in 1609, the students who followed the Roman style of Annibale, including Dominicino and Francesco Albani, did not achieve such success in obtaining the most prestigious orders as Guidarini. He was forced to ask a favor of him about work, making great efforts through intermediaries and at any cost. One of the masterpieces of Dominicino is his frescoes with scenes from the life of St. Cecilia in the chapel of Palaia San Luigi dei Francesi. It was ordered in 1612 and completed in 1615. At the end of 1615, Dominicino designed a caisson ceiling with an image of the Vespers of the Blessed Virgin in Santa Maria in Trastevere. He worked in Bologna and Fauna from 1617 to 1621. With the election of the Bolognese Pope Gregory XV in 1621, Dominicino returned to Rome. He continued to show little activity as an artist, receiving many orders on altars in Roman churches. He also made many frescoes in Rome in the 1620s. He worked in tough competition with Lanfran. Despite his activity in Rome, Dominicino decided to leave the city in 1631 to carry out the most prestigious and very profitable order in Naples, the decoration of the Chapel of San Gennaro in the Neapolitan Cathedral. He died, possibly from food, at the hands of a jealous Neapolitan clique, before the completion of the fourth altar or dome, which was subsequently painted by Lanfran. He died at the age of 59 in 1641 on April 6. It must be said that the purpose of the Neapolitan conspiracy was to prevent competition from foreign artists from other parts of Italy, especially masters. The works of Dominicino, mostly developed, for example, by Raffaele Caracci, reflect the theoretical idea of ​​his friend Giovanni Battista Ogucci. About 1750 drawings from the royal collection of the Windsor Castle testify to the painstaking study of Dominicino's works, figurative, architectural, decorative, landscape, even caricature, and the brilliant skill of the artist as a painter. In 1196, the first major exhibition of his work was held in the Palace of Venice in Rome. Well, so, in short, about Dominicino Zampieri, or just Dominicino, an Italian artist and baron who belonged to the Bologna School of Painting. Bye Bye, see you, watch the work.
