Domenichino (1581–1641)Italian baroque painter and architect, active in Bologna, Naples, and Rome. He began as an assistant to the Carracci family of painters and continued the early baroque style in, for example, frescoes 1624–28 in the choir of the church of S Andrea della Valle, Rome. He is considered one of the pioneers of landscape painting in the baroque period. His landscapes had a great impact on the development of the genre, influencing Claude Lorrain directly. The English painter John Constable regarded his Landscape with a Fortified Building (private collection) as ‘of the highest order’. A good example is Landscape with Tobias and Angel about 1615 (National Gallery, London).
