Ludovico Gimignani

Ludovico Gimignani (1643 – 26 June 1697) was an Italian painter, who is mainly known for his altarpieces for churches in Rome.

His father was one of the main pupils emerging from the loose "studio" of painters working for Pietro da Cortona and who also received patronage from his fellow Pistoia native, the cardinal Rospigliosi.

He also painted a Guardian Angel for the church of San Crisogono, a portrait of a Boy and a Greyhound in the Palazzo Rospigliosi-Pallavicini in the Quirinal Hill, and an altarpiece for the baptistery in Sant'Andrea delle Fratte.

Among his masterpieces is the altarpiece depicting the Miracle of Saint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi.

[2] In 1672, he joined the Accademia di San Luca, a prestigious association of artists in Rome.
