Bologna , the relative and pupil ofLudovico Carracci .As his compositions were not meeting with sufficient encouragement, he went to Rome, and gave himself up to
portrait painting . His pictures have great vigor and clearness of relief.newgenbio|Aloisi, Balthazar] He also made picturesque engravings, but his works in this manner are carried out with a little too much negligence.One of his finest pictures is "The Visitation", in the 1st chapel of the church
Santa Maria della Carità in Bologna. He was in Rome, and much employed in painting portraits of the most illustrious persons of his time.
