Domenichino (1581 Bologna-1641 Naples), whose actual name was Domenico Zampieri, is among the most important successors of the Carracci. He studied at the workshop of Ludovico Carracci, among others, and then began working with Annibale Carracci in Rome in 1602. Influenced by these two artists as well as by Correggio, Raphael and Caravaggio, he developed an independent style that was typical of classical painting's Clarity and monumental expressive form. Particularly after the death of Annibale Carracci, Domenichino became the leading master of Bolognese landscape painting. He was active in Rome until 1630 except between 1617 and 1620, when he worked in his native city. He then moved to Naples, his primary locus of activity until his death. Domenichoni's frescoes and altarpieces deal with religous and mythological themes. Among his works are Girl with Unicorn, 1602, Galleria Borghese, Rome; Christ in Glory, c. 1718, Pinacoteca Apostolica Vaticana, Vatican City; and The Labors of Hercules, c. 1623, Musee du Louvre, Paris.
