Alessandro Tiarini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alessandro Tiarini (1577-1668) was an Italian Baroque painter of the Bolognese School.

He was born in Bologna and studied under such as Prospero Fontana and subsequently Bartolomeo Cesi. He painted frescoes, façade decorations, and altarpieces in Florence (1599-1606) and Bologna. In Florence, he worked with Domenico Passignano, Bernardino Poccetti, and Jacopo da Empoli.

He was lured back to Bologna and Reggio Emilia, by Ludovico Carracci, and there painted a series of frescoes for the Brami Chapel in the sanctuary of Santa Maria della Ghiara.
