LAURI, FILIPPO, born in Rome in 1623,
died there in 1694. Roman school; son
and pupil of Baldassare Lauri (1570-1642),
a landscape painter of Antwerp, and brother
of Francesco Lauri (1610-35), a famous pupil
of Andrea Sacchi, but who died young,
after exciting the greatest hopes. Filippo,
who was deformed, had instruction from
Francesco, and afterwards from Caroselli,
who married his sister; but he abandoned
the style of the latter, and devoted himself
to painting lively and humorous cabinet
pictures. He executed these with so much
spirit that his works were in great demand
in Rome. He worked sometimes conjointly
with Claude Lorrain, painting the figures in
the latter's landscapes. His largest picture
is Adam and Eve, in S. M. della Pace, Rome.

Doria, Rome; St. Francis of Assisi in
