Domenico Alfani

Domenico Alfani di Paride (c. 1483 – c. 1553) was an Italian painter of the Renaissance period, active chiefly in his native Perugia.

He utilized the design given by Raphael for an altarpiece in the Church of San Simone dei Carmini, Perugia, now it is called as Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria.

[1] His works are also found in the old Augustinian Church along with that of Girolamo da Cremona, Pietro Perugino and Dono Doni.

His son, Orazio Alfani, was also a prominent painter in Perugia, and founder of the academy of painting in that city.

Since father and son were in the habit of painting in conjunction, it is difficult to determine the true authorship of some of the well-known works.
