	Giovanni Lanfranco, the dizzying heights of Baroque
		Lanfranco was the favourite painter of Pope Paul V Borghese; between 1610 and 1630 he was greatly sought after by noble Roman families.
		Perhaps the reason lies in the fact that many works by Lanfranco were destroyed: the Camerino degli eremiti, painted for the Farnese family in Palazzetto Farnese, plus the Loggia of Galleria Borghese, the frescos of which were redone in the eighteenth century by Domenico Corvi, are just two such examples.
		Lanfranco was in actual fact the first creator of a Baroque language of expression, with ethereal and diagonal lines, light, airy visions and harmonious compositions.

		Nel 1610 Lanfranco ritorna per un breve periodo in patria, poi, nel 1612 è di nuovo a Roma ed è in questo secondo soggiorno che giunge a maturazione il suo personale stile: un’intensa luminosità con effetti naturalistici, una seducente tensione drammatica e religiosa.
		Giovanni Lanfranco concluse infatti la sua fortunatissima carriera dipingendo nelle principali chiese cittadine: dal Gesù Nuovo, ai Santi Apostoli, dalla Certosa di San Martino al Duomo.
		All’inizio del secondo quarto del secolo, Lanfranco raggiunge dunque l’apice del successo artistico e sociale in un susseguirsi di riconoscimenti siglati dalla magnificente cupola di Sant’Andrea della Valle (1625-27), un vero e proprio "paradiso artificiale" in controparte ai "naturalmente" barocchi cieli romani.

		Lanfranco painted frescoes in the Pope's Quirinal Palace as well as in St. Peter's, and in 1624-25 he was commissioned to paint a huge ceiling fresco in the Villa Borghese.
		Much to Domenichino's chagrin, Lanfranco was asked to paint the dome of St. Andrea della Valle (1625-27) where Domenichino had already painted the ceiling of the choir and the pendentives under the dome.
		Lanfranco's dome illustrates the Assumption of the Virgin, the same subject that Correggio had depicted in the dome of the Cathedral of Parma one hundred years earlier.

		Apparently the latter was so angered, that he is said to have attempted to loosen part of Lanfranco's scaffolding in the hope that he would fall and sustain a fatal injury.
		His dome fresco for the Chapel of S. Gennaro in the Cathedral (again he appears to have supplanted the more Classical Domenichino, the beginnings of whose dome fresco he was in fact replacing), greatly influenced Cortona's decorations for the Chiesa Nuova, Rome.
		Lanfranco returned to Rome in 1646, one of his latest works there being the apse painting for S. Carlo di Catinari.

		From 1625 to 1627 Giovanni Lanfranco painted the enormous dome of the church of Sant' Andrea della Valle in Rome with his Assumption of the Virgin.
		Although this fresco was inspired by Correggio's Renaissance ceilings in Parma, it virtually overwhelmed contemporary spectators with its exuberant illusionistic effects and became one of the first high baroque masterpieces.
		Lanfranco's work in Rome (1613-1630) and in Naples (1634-1646) was fundamental to the development of illusionism in Italy.

	BTA - Telematic Bulletin of Art / Texts / bta00293.html
		This is the first exhibition dedicated to Lanfranco and his paintings, and its aim to reconsider this artist's career is particularly commendable.
		In order to study the young Lanfranco it is necessary to examine also the biographies of many other outstanding painters from the two schools of Carracci and Caravaggio: Domenico, Albani, Reni, but also Badalocchio, Baglione and Borgianni.
		The examples I have offered should be sufficient to clarify how Lanfranco flexibly moved in the first Roman period, and it is therefore impossible to impose on him any simplistic label as in the typical retrospective rethorics.

	Biography
		He developed Correggio's sotto in sù type of illusionism to an extravagant point, and painted several domes and apses in Roman and Neapolitan churches in this manner.
		To him Domenichino lost part of the commission for the decoration of S. Andrea della Valle in Rome, a slight he resented so bitterly that - so the story goes - he weakened part of the scaffolding, hoping that Lanfranco would break his neck.
		Lanfranco completed the dome with an Assumption, Correggiesque in inspiration, between 1625-27, and such was its success that he was then employed at St Peter's until 1631.

	Domenico Zampieri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		With the support of Monsignor Giovanni Battista Agguchi, the maggiordomo to Cardinal Aldobrandini and later Gregogry XV, and Giovanni’s brother Cardinal Girolamo Agguchi, Domenichino obtained commision for the Capella dei Santissimi Fondatori, in the medieval basilica of the Abbey at Grottaferrata (1608-10) a few miles outside Rome, and where the titular abbot was Odoardo Farnesse.
		He was considered unsociable by many, and ultimately excited the rivalry of fellow-Carracci trainee Giovanni Lanfranco.
		Phillip Neri’s Oratorian movement; and the work recieved, in general, great praise from contemporaries.) Inspection of the two mirrored canvases would suggest that while he closely paraphrases Agostino, the accusation of plagiarism is debatable, since Domenichino’s treatment is sharper, less crowded, and more focused on the beggarly figure of St Jerome.

		With several variations, the painting repeats the subject Lanfranco tackled in 1624–25 for the Cappella del Sacramento in San Paolo Fuori le Mura in Rome, now in the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin.
		As Erich Schleier first wrote to the owner on 5 May 1989, this negative reaction was the result of much, extensive repainting from which the canvas was liberated only recently, revealing the true quality of the work and confirming its autography entirely.
		Schleier himself noted how the practice of replicating his own inventions was by no means uncommon for Lanfranco, and he considered the tone of this painting to be more lyrical and less heroic than the large canvas now in Dublin.

		The Italian novelist, short-story writer, and playwright Giovanni Verga is considered the most important figure of the Italian verismo, or realist, school of novelists.
		His reputation was slow to develop, but modern critics have judged him one of the greatest of all Italian novelists.
		He was Giovanni Cimabue, who brought Byzantine religious art to its peak by adding drama to its traditional splendor and more human characteristics to the figures of the saints.

		Terza edizione di questa articolata esposizione dedicata a Giovanni Lanfranco, pittore barocco poco conosciuto al grande pubblico; dopo le sedi di Colorno e Napoli, la mostra - curata dal massimo studioso del Lanfranco Erich Schleier - approda ora nella sede di Palazzo Venezia a Roma.
		Lanfranco fu infatti il pittore preferito di Papa Paolo V Borghese; negli anni che vanno dal 1610 al 1630, venne conteso dalle famiglie nobili di Roma.
		Lanfranco fu in realtà il primo creatore di un linguaggio barocco, con linee aeree e diagonali, visioni leggere ed ariose, armoniose composizioni.
