Girolamo Romani

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Girolamo Romani (Romanino) (born c.1484-1487) was an Italian High Renaissance painter of Venice and Lombardy.

Born in Brescia, he took up residence in Venice in his twenties. His early training and life is not well-documented; he was commissioned to complete an Altar for San Giustina in Padua in 1513. He completed four frescoes in the nave of the cathedral of Cremona in 1519-1520 on Christ's passion. His paintings have eclectic influences using Venetian coloration with Florentine-Lombard modeling. In 1531-2 he worked with Dosso Dossi in fresco decoration of Castel Buonconsiglio in Trento. He died between 1559-1561. He worked with Lattanzio Gambara, his son-in-law. One of his pupils was Girolamo Muziano.
