CAMBIASO, LUCA, born at Moneglia, Oct. 18, 1527, died at the Escorial, Spain, 1585. Genoese school. Sometimes called Luchetto da Genova. Son and pupil of Giovanni Cambiaso; became his father's assistant 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 modified his style at a later period. He painted both in oil and in fresco, and such was his fruitfulness of invention and facility of execution that he seldom made sketches for his works. His reputation reached foreign countries, and in 1583 he was invited to Spain by Philip II., who made him court painter and gave him a pension of 500 ducats. Cambiaso executed many works in the Escorial, the most celebrated being the Paradise or Assemblage of the Blessed, on the ceiling of the church of the Escorial, for which he was paid 12,000 ducats. Of his oil pictures the best are: Madonna and Saints, Duomo, Genoa; St. Gottardo with Apostles and Donors, ib.; Madonna and Saints, Palazzo Adorno, Genoa; Madonna and Child, Uffizi; Entombment, S. M. di Casignano, Genoa; two mythological pictures, Palazzo Borghese, Rome; double portrait of the painter and his father, Palazzo Spinola, Genoa; Martyrdom of St. George, S. Giorgio, ib.; Rape of Sabines, Palazzo Imperiale, Terralba, near Genoa. Luca had a son, Orazio, who aided him in the Escorial. Philip II. continued to employ him after his father's death, but he returned to Genoa in the following year.—Soprani, 35, 51; Lanzi, iii. 244; Seguier, 35; Burckhardt, 760; Ch. Blanc, École génoise.
