Girolamo Bonini

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Girolamo Bonini was a Italian painter of the Baroque period, active mainly in Bologna. Also known as L'Aconitano due to his natal city of Ancona. He was the pupil of the painter Francesco Albani. He painted a Christ adored by angels, St. Sebastian, and St. Bonaventure owned by the Louvre museum in Paris. Bonini was part of a team, including Lorenzo Pasinelli, Luigi Scaramuccia, and Giovanni Maria Bibiena, working under Carlo Cignani in the decoration of the Sala Farnese of the city hall of Bologna.
