Domenichino - Domenichino (English spelling)

Italian painter and theorist of the early Baroque. His real name was Domenico Zampieri. He was born in Bologna. He first studied under Calvert, then at the Academy of Lodovico Carracci. In 1602 he went to Rome and worked under Annibale Carracci on the decoration of Palazzo Farnese. He was mainly active in Rome, and his major works include "Saint Jerome" (1614, Vatican Museums), "Diana's Hunt" (1617, Borghese Gallery, Rome), and the mural decoration of the Basilica of Sant'Andrea delle Valle (1624-28). In 1631 he went to Naples, where he created the murals and altarpiece for the Chapel of San Gennaro, and died there. He left behind many religious paintings as well as historical and landscape paintings, which show a tendency towards tranquil and refined classicism. His landscape paintings influenced Poussin and other painters of his time, and he played an important role in conveying the classical Baroque style of Annibale Carracci to the 17th century. He is one of the leading Bolognese Eclectic painters, along with Guido Reni.

イタリア初期バロックの画家、理論家。本名ドメニコ・ザンピエリ。ボローニャに生まれる。最初カルベールトに師事したのち、ロドビコ・カラッチのアカデミーに学ぶ。1602年ローマに赴き、アンニバレ・カラッチの下でパラッツォ・ファルネーゼの装飾に従事。主としてローマで活躍し、主要作品に『聖ヒエロニムス』（1614、バチカン美術館）、『ディアナの狩猟』（1617、ローマ、ボルゲーゼ美術館）、サンタンドレア・デッレ・バッレ聖堂の壁画装飾（1624～28）があげられる。31年ナポリに赴き、サン・ジェンナロ礼拝堂の壁画および祭壇画を制作、同地に没した。宗教画とともに歴史画、風景画を数多く残し、静謐(せいひつ)端正な古典主義的傾向を示す。その風景描写はプーサンならびに同時代の画家に影響を与え、アンニバレ・カラッチの古典主義的バロック様式を17世紀に伝える重要な役割を果たした。グイド・レーニと並ぶボローニャ折衷派の代表的画家である。
