  Biography
Cigoli (Lodovico Cardi), Florentine painter, architect, and poet.
Cigoli's paintings of the 1590s, such as Heraclius Carrying the Cross (1594; San Marco, Florence) and The Martyrdom of St Stephen (1597; Galleria Palatina, Florence) reveal a new naturalism and clarity of composition, heralding in Florence a reform of the prevalent Mannerist style similar to that undertaken by the Carracci in Bologna.
In 1604 Cigoli was summoned to Rome to paint St Peter Healing the Cripple for St Peter's (1604-06; fragments in crypt), a masterpiece on slate praised by Andrea Sacchi as the third greatest painting in Rome, after Raphael's Transfiguration and Domenichino's Last Communion of St Jerome.

 The Sacrifice of Isaac by CIGOLI
Cigoli's picture depicts one of the most dramatic moments in the Old Testament (Genesis 22: 1-14), where the Lord tests Abraham's faith by asking him to sacrifice his only son Isaac.
Cigoli shows the moment at which the angel intervenes, pulling back Abraham's arm as he points to the ram.
Cigoli, a Florentine, is documented in Rome between 1606-07, a date which accords well with the style of The Sacrifice of Isaac.

Cigoli (Ludovico Cardi): The Adoration of the Shepherds with Saint Catherine of Alexandria (1991.7)
An artist of considerable intellectual accomplishment and a friend of Galileo, Cigoli was the key artist in Florence in the late sixteenth century.
The Adoration of the Shepherds was painted at the height of Cigoli's career and introduces into Florentine painting the emotional warmth of Barocci's finest work, the fused color of the late Titian, and details taken directly from nature, such as the still life around the Christ Child and the rustic figures at the right.

 Sigismondo Coccapani, the Assumption of the Virgin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Coccapani worked with Cigoli in Rome from 1610 on the dome of the Cappella Paolina in the Cappella Paolina, Santa Maria Maggiore and the Loggia of Psyche and Cupid in the Borghese garden on the Quirinale (M. Chappell, 'Disegni di Lodovico Cigoli', Florence, 1992, nos.
Cigoli’s painterly combination of pen and blue and brown washes is transformed by Coccapani’s more studied handling into carefully delineated forms shaped with transparent wash.
The very likely possibility that Coccapani’s 'Assumption of the Virgin' is a 'modello' made for a specific purpose, a commission not known today, is suggested by the large size, the squaring, and the careful degree of finish of this drawing.

Cigoli, as a painter, argued for the superiority of his two dimensional genre.
Galileo was also a master of perspective drawing, for example, chiaroscuro, a pure exercise in the art (also considered a science and studied as such) of representing three dimensions in two through the use of light and shadow on complex geometric forms.
Cigoli's last work, inspired by Galileo's findings, was a fresco in the Pauline Chapel depicting Mary over a cratered moon.

 Cigoli, Lodovico Cardi da - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Cigoli, Lodovico Cardi da   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Nearly all of his paintings are fervent treatments of religious subjects, usually saints, typical of the Italian art of the Counter-Reformation.
Born at Cigoli in Tuscany and brought up in the tradition of Florentine Mannerism, he was a pupil of Alessandro Allori and Santi di Tito but was more influenced by the works of Michelangelo, Pontormo, and Andrea del Sarto.

 Ecce Homo by CIGOLI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Cigoli's nephew, Giovanni Battista Cardi, was the first to report that this Ecce Homo was chosen as the best of three versions of the theme commissioned as part of an 'unknown' competition between Cigoli, Caravaggio and Domenico Passignano.
It is now clear that in 1607, when Cigoli was resident in Rome, he painted an Ecce Homo for Massimo Massimi as a pendant for a picture by Caravaggio that the collector already owned.
Although Cigoli's contract does not specify the subject of Caravaggio's picture, it was most likely The Crowning with Thorns commissioned by Massimi two years earlier and that has been identified by some scholars as the painting now in Prato.

Educated under Alessandro Allori and Santi di Tito, he formed a peculiar style by the study at Florence of Michelangelo, Correggio, Andrea del Sarto and Pontormo.
Cigoli, who was made a knight of Malta at the request of Pope Paul III., was a good and solid draughtsman and the possessor of a rich and harmonious palette.
He died, it is said, of grief at the failure of his last fresco (in the Roman church of Santa Maria Maggiore), which is rendered ridiculous by an abuse of perspective.

 [No title]
Secondly, it will be argued that Cigoli’s treatise deserves attention for its revolutionary account of the anatomy of the eye, because it gives a hint at the optical knowledge in Galileo’s artistic circle.
In this treatise the perspective projection on a spherical surface, which Galileo needed to unravel the sunspot picture on his piece of paper, is found, together with an account of the parallel rays issuing from the sun.
In either case, Cigoli’s treatise gives a clue to the level of optical knowledge in Galileo’s circle.

 The Penitent Magdalen (Getty Museum)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Cigoli created drama in the composition through props, contrast, and color.
By juxtaposing the Magdalene's cascading blond curls and her gleaming skin with the darker blues and emerald greens of the landscape, Cigoli used color to add tension.
Cigoli's Penitent Magdalen demonstrates the new emotionalism that had entered Florentine painting by the end of the 1500s.

STEVEN F. The moon in Lodovico Cigoli's Immacolata fresco (1610-12) in the Pauline Chapel, S. Maria Maggiore, Rome, departs radically from tradition, appearing not as a perfect crescent but as a crater-pocked sphere, just as Cigoli's friend Galileo had observed it through his telescope and had published it in 1610.
This study focuses on the reception of Cigoli's and Galileo's moon in light of Christian lunar symbolism and astronomical theory.
At issue are the theological implications of a maculate moon within an image of the Immaculate Virgin in a papal chapel and how the Church accommodated the new cosmology to theological traditions.

He was a pupil of Cigoli (Ludovico Cardi, 1559-1613), or at least was much influenced by this master during his sojourn in Rome.
From the end of the sixteenth century Rome again became what she had ceased to be after the sack of 1527, the metropolis of the beautiful.
Eclecticism, the fusion of divers characteristics of Correggio, Barrochi, Veronese, was already apparent in the work of Cigoli.
