Born
Bologna, Italy
Movement
Bolognese Classicism
Known for
Clear composition and antique restraint

Domenico Zampieri trained under the Carracci in Bologna and became the most refined classicist of early Baroque Rome. Where Caravaggio shocked, Domenichino composed — his frescoes have the calm clarity of ancient reliefs, and his landscapes helped invent the genre of the ideal Italian countryside.
