Giovanni Antonio Pandolfi (painter)
Giovanni Antonio Pandolfi (c. 1540 - c. 1581) was an Italian painter active in the Central Italy, including Foligno, Perugia, and his native Pesaro. He died in Perugia. Biography He collaborated with the Mannerist painter Niccolò Circignani in the mythologic frescoes painted for the Palazzo della Corgna in Castiglione del Lago. He also painted canvas on the ''Martyrdom of St Lawrence'' (1572) and frescoes in the sacristy for the Cathedral of Perugia. He may have frescoed for the nearby Oratory of Nunziatella of Perugia. In Pesaro, he painted a ''Madonna delle Grazie with San Terenzio and the Blessed Michelina''. He was married to Lucrezia, sister of the painter Girolamo Danti. Giovanni Antonio is almost certainly the father of Giovanni Giacomo Pandolfi, born 1570 in Pesaro, and who was an initial master of Simone Cantarini. His relationship with other Pandolfi artists is unclear. He should not be confused with Giovanni Antonio Pandolfi Mealli (Montepulciano, Tuscany, c. 1630 ...

Foligno
Foligno (; Southern Umbrian: ''Fuligno'') is an ancient town of Italy in the province of Perugia in east central Umbria, on the Topino river where it leaves the Apennines and enters the wide plain of the Clitunno river system. It is located south-east of Perugia, north-north-west of Trevi and south of Spello. While Foligno is an active bishopric, one of its civil parishes, San Giovanni Profiamma, is the historical site of the former bishopric of Foro Flaminio, which remains a Latin Catholic titular see. Foligno railway station forms part of the main line from Rome to Ancona, and is the junction for Perugia; it is thus an important rail centre, with repair and maintenance yards for the trains of central Italy, and was therefore subjected to severe Allied aerial bombing in World War II, responsible for its relatively modern aspect, although it retains some medieval monuments. Of its Roman past no significant trace remains, with the exception of the regular street plan of the c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Giovanni Antonio Pandolfi Mealli
omenicoGiovanni Antonio Pandolfi ealli'' (1624 – ) was an Italian composer and violinist. Life and works Pandolfi was born in Montepulciano in 1624, where he was baptised on 27 November, the second son of Giovanni Battista Pandolfi and the fourth son of his father's second wife, Verginia Bartalini, the widow of Mario Mealli. His name at baptism was Domenico; it would appear that he adopted the names Giovanni Antonio on entering religious orders at some stage of his life. His father was the servant of a lawyer. Pandolfi's stepbrother Lorenzo, at the age of around 8, had become a castrato singer at the court of Kraków. Another stepbrother, Giovan Battista Mealli, became a singer in Venice, where Domenico and the rest of the family joined him around 1630 following the death of old Pandolfi.Longo (2014).

People From Pesaro
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...

Mannerist Painters
Mannerism, which may also be known as Late Renaissance, is a style in European art that emerged in the later years of the Italian High Renaissance around 1520, spreading by about 1530 and lasting until about the end of the 16th century in Italy, when the Baroque style largely replaced it. Northern Mannerism continued into the early 17th century. Mannerism encompasses a variety of approaches influenced by, and reacting to, the harmonious ideals associated with artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Vasari, and early Michelangelo. Where High Renaissance art emphasizes proportion, balance, and ideal beauty, Mannerism exaggerates such qualities, often resulting in compositions that are asymmetrical or unnaturally elegant.Gombrich 1995, . Notable for its artificial (as opposed to naturalistic) qualities, this artistic style privileges compositional tension and instability rather than the balance and clarity of earlier Renaissance painting. Mannerism in literature and music is n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
