LORENZO GARBIERI (1580-1654)
San Carlo Borromeo interceding for the cessation of the plague
c.1610-11RCIN 905319
Lorenzo Garbieri was one of the most faithful followers of Ludovico Carracci (see no. 120, left), and combined the dramatic elements of Ludovico’s style with fashionably Caravaggesque lighting. This is a study for Garbieri’s altarpiece in San Paolo Maggiore, Bologna, commissioned by the papal legate Cardinal Benedetto Giustiniani.
