Aurelio Lomi

Aurelio Lomi (29 February 1556 – 1622)[1] was an Italian painter of the late-Renaissance and early-Baroque periods, active mainly in his native town of Pisa, Tuscany.

He may have initially been trained by his father, Giovanni Battista Lomi, but soon he worked in Florence (1580-1590) under the painters Alessandro Allori, then Lodovico Cardi (known as Cigoli).

He painted a St Anthony of Padua for the church of San Francesco di Casteletto in Genoa, and a Resurrection of Christ and Last Judgement for Santa Maria Assunta in Carignano.

In Rome, he painted frescoes in the Pinelli chapel of Chiesa Nuova, including Scenes from the life of the Virgin and Birth of Jesus on the arches, and the Dormition, Coronation, and Funeral of the Madonna on the vault.

Other pupils included Orazio Riminaldi, Simone Balli, Domenico Fiasella, Pietro Gnocchi (painter), and Augustin Montanari.
