Girolamo da Carpi

Girolamo Da Carpi (1501 – 1 August 1556) was an Italian painter and decorator who worked at the Court of the House of Este in Ferrara.

He trained in the studio of a local painter who showed the influence of Lorenzo Costa and Raphael.

In the 1520s Girolamo visited Rome and Bologna and was inspired by the Mannerist style of Giulio Romano.

He returned to Ferrara and collaborated with Dosso Dossi and Garofalo among others on commissions for the d’Este family.

Girolamo became the architect to Pope Julius III in 1550 and supervised the remodeling of the Vatican's belvedere.
