Son and pupil of Giovan- ni Cambiaso ; be- came his father's as- sistant when fifteen years old, and was selected when seventeen to paint the ceiling of the great hall in the Palazzo Doria. His early works border on the gigantesque and suggest study of Michelangelo, but he modi- fied his style at a later period. He painted both in oil and in fresco, and such was his fruitfulness of invention and facility of exe- cution that he seldom made sketches for his works. His reputation reached foreign coun- tries, and in 1583 he was invited to Spain by Philip IL, who made him court painter and gave him a pension of 500 ducats.
