Attributed to Agostino Tassi

1565-1644

Agostino Buonamici, called Tassi after his patron Marchese Tassi in Rome. Roman School. Born c. 1580; died 1644. He was active chiefly in Rome, where he worked for a time with Orazio Gentileschi, and where he was a teacher of Claude Lorrain. He was principally a fresco painter. His style as easel painter, chiefly of landscapes with figures, shows the influence of Brill and, especially, of Elsheimer, and a development somewhat parallel to that of Domenichino.
