|
Initially, a disciple of the Venetian Claudio Ridolfi. He was a disciple of Guido Reni for about 4 years from 1635-39. He soon fought with his mentor, and did not return to Bologna till 1642, after Guido had died. It is said that his death, which took place at Verona in 1648, was occasioned by chagrin at his failure in a portrait of the duke of Mantua . Others relate that he was poisoned by a Mantuan painter whom he had injured. His pictures, though masterly and spirited, are generally derivative. Some of his works have been mistaken for examples of Guido Reni. Among his principal paintings are ''St. Anthony'', at Cagli ; the ''Magdalene'', at Pesaro ; the ''Transfiguration'' in the Brera Gallery, Milan ; the ''Portrait of Guido'', in the Bologna gallery; and ''St. Romuald'', in the Casa Paolucci. His most celebrated etching is ''Jupiter, Neptune and Pluto'', honoring the arms of Cardinal Borghese .
