Domenichino
Domenico Zampieri (1581-1641), known as Domenichino, was an Italian Baroque painter of the Bolognese School of painters. Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, his paintings were considered second only to Raphael’s, but in the mid-19th century, he fell from favor. He became famous as a Baroque classicist again only in the 20th century. His artworks are known for lucid and balanced compositions, sober expressions, and restrained figures’ gestures.
