Lanfranco, Giovanni
(redirected from Giovanni Lanfranco)

    Also found in: Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Lanfranco, Giovanni (1582–1647)

Italian baroque painter. Influenced by the ceiling paintings of Antonio Correggio in Parma, he decorated the domes and apses of many churches in Rome and Naples, developing a striking baroque illusionism, as in the dome of S Andrea del Valle, Rome, 1625–28.

He was the pupil of Agostino, and later Annibale, Carracci.
