Zampieri is an Italian painter who was a leading practitioner of Baroque classicism in Rome and Bologna. He was trained in the academy of Lodovico Carracci and in 1602 was in Rome, where he joined the Bolognese artists at work under the direction of Annibale Carracci in the decoration of the Farnese Palace. Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries Domenichino’s paintings were regarded as second only to those of Raphael, but in the mid-19th century he fell from favour. His importance as a Baroque classicist was recognized again only in the 20th century. His work is marked by lucid and balanced compositions, even and serene lighting and subdued colours, and the sober expressions and restrained gestures of its figures.
