LANFRANCO, GIOVANNI, Cavaliere, born in Parma in 1580 or 1581, died in Rome, Nov. 29, 1647. Roman school; pupil of Agostino Carracci, then at Ferrara; on his master's death (1601) he went to Rome and assisted Annibale Carracci, from whose designs he executed 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 in the Clouds with Saints (1621-25), 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 Gesù, now destroyed, and in other churches, remaining there until 1646, when he returned to Rome. Among his best pictures are St. Louis feeding the Poor, Venice Academy, and Liberation of St. Peter, Palazzo Colonna, Rome. Other works in public galleries: Mary Magdalen, St. Peter in Tears, do. with Book and Keys, Artist's Portrait, Uffizi, Florence; Assumption, Ecstasy of S.
