Giovanni Domenico Cerrini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Giovanni Domenico Cerrini, also called Gian Domenico or il Cavalier Perugino, (Perugia 1609 - Rome 1681), was a Baroque Italian painter of the Bolognese School.

Initially trained under Giovanni Antonio Scaramuccia. Cerrini was was initially trained in the Roman studio of Guido Reni, but strongly influenced by Lanfranco, Guercino, Domenichino, and Andrea Sacchi. He was patronized by the family of the cardinal Bernardino Cardinal Spada. He received from Giulio Cardinal Rospigliosi, future Pope Clement IX, the commission to decorate the cupola of Santa Maria della Vittoria (1654-5). His style has the monumental clarity of Domenichino, but somewhat sapped of vitality.
