| Summary: | In the second half of the XV century the most representative painter of Rome was surely Antoniazzo Romano (born Antonio di Benedetto Aquili), the head of a flourishing workshop, that placed him side by side in the several commissions for the decoration of churches and convents and for the production of some devotional panels and altarpieces for his native city, for Lazio and the other neighbouring regions. Antoniazzo was born in the years between 1435 and 1440 in a family of painters in the rione Colonna, where the father Benedetto lived and worked; in their workshop Antoniazzo and his brothers Giuliano and Nardo began their artistic training and cooperation. Two of Antoniazzo's sons, including the best known Marcantonio, and Evangelista, the son of Nardo, continued the tradition becoming painters their selves. Aquili, at beginning, trained in the local schools where the Christian Medieval Roman tradition kept alive continuing to prefer the sacred images, hieratic and solemn that - according to the need - were restored, repainted and copied. 00Exhibition: Complesso Museale di San Francesco, Montefalco (Pg), Italy (11.12.2016-07.05.2017).
