Domenico Zampieri
Bologna, Papal States
Archival Overview
Leading Bolognese classical Baroque painter whose 'The Last Communion of Saint Jerome' and frescoes in Sant'Andrea della Valle set the benchmark for expressive gestures.
Biographical Record
Domenichino (1581–1641 CE) was Annibale Carracci's foremost student in Rome, celebrated for his intellectual clarity, architectural landscapes, and mastery of human facial expressions (affetti).
His Last Communion of Saint Jerome was ranked by 18th-century connoisseurs as second only to Raphael's Transfiguration; while working on the cathedral frescoes in Naples, he was threatened and poisoned by jealous rivals.
