Domenico Zampieri (or Domenichino) (October 21, 1581 - April 15, 1641), was a prominent high Baroque painter of the Bolognese or Carracci School of Painters. He was born at Bologna, Italy, son of a shoemaker. He was initially apprenticed under Denis Calvart; but left to work in the Accademia degli Incamminati of the Carracci brothers, first in Bologna, then in Rome (1602). He became one of the most talented apprentices to emerge from Annibale Carracci's. supervision, working alongside with senior contemporaries and friends Albani and Guido Reni, as well as lifetime rivals such as Lanfranco.

Because of his stature, he was nicknamed "little Domenico". He painted the panel depicting The Maiden and the Unicorn (1604-5) in Annibale's Gallery series titled The Loves of the Gods. Also in the Palazzo Farnese, he painted 3 mythologic landscapes in the Loggia del Giardino. With the support of Monsignor Giovanni Battista Agguchi, the maggiordomo to Cardinal Aldobrandini and later Gregory XV, and Giovanni’s brother Cardinal Girolamo Agguchi, Domenichino obtained commision for the Capella dei Santissimi Fondatori, in the medieval basilica of the Abbey at Grottaferrata (1608-10) a few miles outside Rome, and where the titular abbot was Odoardo Farnesse. He also was commisioned for frescoes in church of Sant’Onofrio. Albani saw that he participated in decorating the Palazzo Mattei (1606-7) and Villa Odescalchi at Bassano di Sutra. Reni worked with him on frescoes in the Oratorio di Sant'Andrea and at San Gregorio Magno. Domenichino next commmision were scenes al fresco of the life of St. Cecilia [1]for the Polet Chapel of San Luigi de Francesi (1613-14), the church where only a decade before, Caravaggio's had completed the Contarelli chapel canvases, including the Calling of St Matthew, in a vastly different style.

Domenichino, in the tradition of Annibale Carracci, restrained the late-Mannerist and Baroque impulses that were contorting the canvases of contemporaries; and aimed for a more settled peaceful representations. Working on The Scourging of St. Andrew (a fresco in the church of San Gregorio Magno), the artist was rumored to work himself into a passion, using threatening words and actions, and that Annibale Caracci, surprising him, exclaimed with joy, "To-day, my dear Domenichino, thou art teaching me." Domenichino and Guido Reni became the most distinguished disciples of the Caracci. Nicolas Poussin and other admired his classicism; while Claude Lorrain was to learn from Carracci and his attention to landscapes. His portraits are also highly reputed. Domenichino painted in fresco in San Silvestro al Quirinale, San Carlo ai Catinari, Santa Maria in Trastevere and Santa Maria della Vittoria. Mannerism is the usual English term for an approach to all the arts, particularly painting but not exclusive to it, a reaction to the High Renaissance, emerging after the Sack of Rome in 1527 shook Renaissance confidence, humanism and rationality to their foundations, and even Religion had split apart. ...

Accusations of Plagiarism by Lanfranco and Disputes with other Painters

Despite his prodigious output, Domenichino had a slow and labored style of painting, garnering him the nickname of Ox (Bue) among Carracci acolytes. He was considered unsociable by many, and ultimately excited the rivalry of fellow-Carracci trainee Giovanni Lanfranco. Shortly after Domenichino had completed his celebrated papal commission for Communion of St Jerome (1614,Vatican Pinacoteca), Lanfranco cirulated copies of Agostino Carracci’s painting on the same theme [2], allleging plagiarism. (Added note: Unlike rumors, Domenichino was paid 240 scudi (equivalent to $2400 dollars) for the work initially destined for the church of San Girolamo della Carité, associated with St. Phillip Neri’s Oratorian movement; and the work recieved, in general, great praise from contemporaries.) Inspection of the two mirrored canvases would suggest that while he closely paraphrases Agostino, the accusation of plagiarism is debatable, since Domenichino’s treatment is sharper, less crowded, and more focused on the beggarly figure of St Jerome.

Why did Lanfranco think such an accusation would have traction at all? Renaissance art, if anything, fostered the reworking of classical images; it was expected that artists to use ancient and modern masterpieces as models for their works. Raphael copied Roman frescoes. Michelangelo drew inspiration from classical statuary. Thus, regardless of whether true or not, why had plagiarist now become an unwelcome sobriquet? It likely indicates the Roman circles of the time were valueing not only virtuos technique, but brashness and orinality. The Caravaggios and Salvatore Rosa aimed, not to amaze with there technical ability to fill the canvas, but to shock with novelty of their conceits.

Late Work

As an architect, Domenichino was said to have designed the Villa di Belvedere at Frascati, and the whole of the Villa Ludovisi. In 1630, Domenichino moved to Naples, to work on a series of frescoes (never wholly completed) of the life of St. Januarius in the Cappella del Tesoro. The so-called Cabal of Naples formed by the painters Corenzio, Ribera and Caracciolo banded together as to exclude non-Napolitan competition, and criticized and defaced the Bolognese artist's work. For instance, it is said he often found his previous day's work was rubbed out. Whether constant anxiety or rumored poison assailed him, he died in Naples, on April 15th, 1641.
