Domenichino - Late works and legacy, Attributed works

Painter, born in Bologna, N Italy. He trained under Ludovico Carracci and Denis Calvaert, and joined the Bolognese artists in Rome. His masterpiece is ‘The Last Communion of St Jerome’ (1614) in the Vatican.

Domenico Zampieri (or Domenichino) (October 21, 1581–April 15, 1641), was a prominent high Baroque Italian painter of the Bolognese School, or Carracci School, of painters. Leaving Bologna for Rome (1601), he became one of the most talented apprentices to emerge from Annibale Carracci's supervision, working alongside a senior contemporary like Albani and Guido Reni, as well as lifetime rivals such as Lanfranco. Reni worked with him on frescoes in the Oratorio di Sant'Andrea and at San Gregorio Magno. Working on The Scourging of St. Andrew (a fresco in the church of San Gregorio Magno), the artist was rumored to work himself into a passion, using threatening words and actions, and that Annibale Carracci, surprising him, exclaimed with joy, "To-day, my dear Domenichino, thou art teaching me." Domenichino's next commissions were scenes al fresco of the life of St. Cecilia for the Polet Chapel of San Luigi dei Francesi (1613-1614). Domenichino painted in fresco in San Silvestro al Quirinale, San Carlo ai Catinari, Santa Maria in Trastevere, Sant'Andrea della Valle and Santa Maria della Vittoria in Rome, as well as in the Villa Aldobrandini at Frascati. Shortly after Domenichino had completed for the Oratorian church of San Girolamo della Carità his celebrated for Communion of St. Jerome (1614, Vatican Pinacoteca), Lanfranco circulated copies of Agostino Carracci’s (1591-97) painting of the Ultima Comunione di San Girolamo, alleging, not wholly without merit, plagiarism.

Late works and legacy

In 1630, Domenichino moved to Naples, to work on a series of frescoes (never wholly completed) of the life of St. Januarius in the Cappella del Tesoro.
