Giovanni Giacomo Pandolfi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Giovanni Giacomo Pandolfi (first name also spelled Gian or Giovan; 1567 - 1636) was an Italian painter, who was born and lived in Pesaro. He studied with Federico and Taddeo Zuccari, but was strongly influenced by another artist, Federico Barocci. His best known work adorns the ceiling and the oratorio of the church of the Confraternity of the Most Holy Name of God, in Pesaro, which was realized from 1617 to 1619. He has also many paintings in other churches and convents in Pesaro, Fano, Sant'Angelo in Vado and other cities, such as in the Church of Sant'Andrea, in the Church of San Gimignano, and in the Church of San Filippo, respectively.
His style follows the Emilian mannerism, characterized by the sfumato of colors and well rounded human bodies. One of his students was Simone Cantarini.
