Albani, Francesco
(redirected from Francesco Albano)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.

Albani, Francesco (1578–1660)

Italian painter of religious and mythological subjects. He first studied in the school of the Flemish painter Denis Calvaert in Bologna, and then with the Carracci. His Four Elements 1626–28 (Pinacoteca, Turin) is typical.

His graceful compositions earned him the name of the ‘Anacreon of painting’ and he frequently introduced juvenile figures, for which his own 12 children served as models. Popular in France in the reign of Louis XIV, he is well represented in the Louvre.
