Tommaso Donini

His frescoes in the Minor Basilica of St. Lawrence in Lucina and in the Church of San Giuseppe a Capo le Case have been destroyed.

Some art historians believe that Antonio Circignani painted a large part of the Funeral of St. Filippo Benizi.

[1] Andrea Sacchi collaborated with Donini on the altarpiece for the Basilica of San Carlo al Corso.

The emphasis on the emotionality of the scene and the choice of the moment immediately after the killing of Goliath show the influence of Caravaggio in this work.

The illumination of the scene, which makes David's white skin shine against the extremely dark background, also testifies to the stylistic proximity to Caravaggio.
