Ro- man school ; pupil of Agos- tino Carracci, then at Fer- rara ; on his master's death (1601) he went to Rome and assisted Anni- bale Carracci, from whose designs he exe- cuted frescos in the Palazzo Farnese. Among his earliest original works are the Assumption, in a chapel of S. Agostino (which gave him reputation), and a Virgin iu the Clouds with Saints (1021-25), cupola of S. Andrea della Valle. This work had been promised to Domenichino, who had already painted the walls, and Lanfranco was thus brought into direct competition with that great artist. In 1631 he went to Naples and executed works in the Gesu, now destroyed, and in other churches, remaining there until 1046, when he returned to Rome. Among his best pictures are St. Louis feed- ing the Poor, Venice Academy, and Libera- tion of St. Peter, Palazzo Colonna, Rome.
